So, here's what I know so far:

1) Insurance will not pay for the rental. I still have full coverage and if I add Vic as a learning driver it'll just about double. If I go down to liability it'll come down about $30-$40 and adding her as a learning driver will put me just about right where I am now.

2) It is the transmission. Something major broke inside and KIA doesn't rebuild transmissions. It'll cost over $2000 to fix and that includes the $70 tow to the dealership.

I was trying to be an adult and do all this on my own without advice from my parents so when the dealership called and said I had to put $500 down for them to order the transmission I gave him my card number.

My mother just called and suggested they buy me a little car and I give them the money for the payments. If she had called me back during her lunch hour I wouldn't have told them to begin working on the car because I hate to put $2000 in this car when it's not even worth $1000.

I should be able to pay this, with maybe a couple hundred borrowed from my parents. A review of my finances shows that I won't be able to afford it without my parents paying nearly $1000.

Luckily I get child support, and that all my bills (except for electric) have been paid for this month.

My parents have finally talked about the decisions I made today. Instead of calling and telling me they're proud I finally acted like an adult they yelled at me for not talking to them first.

I don't get them. In one breath they're telling me I need to do these things on my own but then in the very next breath they're yelling at me for not talking to them first.

I mean, c'mon! Make up your fucking mind about whether or not I'm allowed to be an adult.

I don't get it, I really don't. They say they want me to stop relying on them so much but whenever I do they get upset that I didn't get their opinion. I tried calling them both several times during the day and they either didn't answer their phone or it went straight to voice mail.

I made the decision to have the repair shop go ahead and fix the car, requiring me to pay them $500, and to extend my rental from one week to two, which has me paying another $500 to Avis.

My mother called while Vic and I were out getting dinner and she flipped when I said that I told the repair shop I couldn't pay for two more weeks. She's under the impression that they won't hold my car for two weeks. Well, they will. I know this because I asked, while making the fucking decision on my fucking own!

She also freaked over my having to have the rental for another week. Is she going to change her work schedule so that I don't have to go to work an hour early? No, I don't think so. So since neither she nor my father are willing to sacrifice so that I don't have to sit outside in an area I'm really not comfortable in while it's dark outside, I made the best decision, or so I thought, and extended the rental since I'll need a fucking car.

If they had only answered their phones or if she had fucking called me back on her lunch (when I called earlier this morning I left a message, her phone rang and then voice mail picked up so she would have seen she had not only a missed call but a message) then we could have avoided all this because she would have offered to buy me a car and I wouldn't be in this fucking mess.
