the car that went kerplunk

Soooooooooooo, I was on my way to meet a friend for lunch and I made a turn onto one of the main streets and there was this grinding "kerplunk" noise...One of our cars had been making a sound like something was rusted when you turn the wheel, we didnt think too much of it, we were going to get it checked soon. Well too late! I immediately go 3 lanes right to this gas station, pull in and try to park, nope the "P" doesnt work. The car just keeps moving....and there is an awful noise....i'm sure i was being stared at by everyone. So i call Will, who wont be home til like 9, (it was 12:30) and he says try to get home and just we'll get it towed tomorrow...okay so first i'm afraid to drive b/c of the noise...but i turn my hazards on and go home, it was only a minute away. i'm trying to park in our driveway and i had to turn left (the direction that caused the problems in the first place) and there is crunching noises and i'm afraid the car is going to fall apart any second, soooo i try to drive slowly around and see if there's another spot open and there's not so i pull around, noises and all into our lot. i put in "park" meanwhile moving backward, put the emergency brake on and get landon out and go inside.

well, today was sunday basically everywhere is closed or has no time available and then monday is columbus day, but we did find someone who's going to tow us tomorrow, and hopefully take a look and see what the damage is...no doubt it'll be something costing thousands of dollars..doesnt everything that goes wrong cost that much. So i'm left w/out a car right now, meaning i'm isolated in this house except for our walks....grrrrr..hopefully it can get fixed soon then we can get rid of the piece of crap and get a good 'ol toyota or honda. i'm so mad. Saturn vue=piece of crap. incase anyone was thinking of getting one.....
