history: My transmission went out in my car. My dad loaned me $500 to get it fixed.  My transmission went out in my car at the worst possible time. No way could I afford to get it replaced or rebuilt. My dad was able to loan me $500 to get the new transmission_comma_ and my step dad was able to put it in. So is it working now? I need atransmission for an old volvo. I'm saving for a new car instead.
current: It's still a work in progress, but we tested the transmission before we put it in. It works wonderfully and came out of a car that only has 90,000 miles on it, versus mine that has 200,000. I would like to get a new car, but I don't want to take on another payment until my house is paid off.
next: Makes sense. I don't want any more bills until my kids are in school. Daycare is very expensive.
