My truck retired itself friday

[chevychic]

Yep. It decided to take a little break Friday. I had been planning on retiring it in spring and picking up a little driver car while I rebuilt the engine to a 383 and work on other things. I had planned on it being out of commission pretty much all summer.
Well Friday my plans were put into fast forward. As I pulled onto the street 5 blocks from my house, the gears started grinding. I pulled over, put it in park, then tried to run it through the gears. Reverse grinds and all the other gears don't engage, although you can hear spinning.

We were getting ready to head out of town this weekend to get away so I haven't had a chance to look into it any further. So rather than fixing it, I decided to just retire it earlier than I had planned and pick up my driver although I didn't think I would be able to get what I was hoping to get in the time frame I had to buy a car. But I did On the way out of town Saturday, my husband and I spotted a 1989 VW Cabriolet which I have loved since I saw the movie Can't Buy Me Love. So we took a look at it Sunday and it was clean and less than we had expected to spend so we came back today took it for a long test drive, had emissions checked on it, and took it to a vw specialist and now it's sitting in my driveway I picked it up for $1700
It's too dark to get pics but I'll post them some other day.

I probably won't get a chance to get a good look at my truck until next weekend or even the following. I'm kinda scared cuz I really don't want to find out that I blew up my 2 year old tranny. I'll post what I find out.

So now I have a lifted 4x4 and a chick car
Can't wait till summer when it's warm enough to put the top down. Oh and for 90hp, that little thing really zips around. I thought it was going to be a dog but I was very surprised.
