Well, the bad news is that my car is completely unfixable. But the good news is that the mechanic was a total cutie! She unzipped her jumpsuit and was like, bam! A wave of steam that smelled like her, it made it hard to think straight for a bit, and then she took off the top she had on under it too since it was just the two of us in the garage. Ugh, I'm in heaven. I'll have to see about buying a new car and then cutting the breaks or something on that one so I'll have an excuse to see her again.
