found on road dead... part 3

It happened again. Our car broke down yesterday while we were on our way to my brother's house :( We have no idea what is wrong with it or how much it is going to cost to fix. I was really hoping that the car would hold out until next year. But unfortunately here we are again. I've put way too much money into this car and have no desire to fix... boo. Doesn't Ford understand that we are students and really needed this car to last us until next year? And why is it that I've gone to school for 20 years of my life and yet for some reason I have no life skills? Every high school should require students to take some sort of basic auto mechanics class. What good does it do me to know what photosynthesis means when I can't drive myself to the canyon in order to admire nature?
