Today I dropped Bugje off at the dealership and the business who will repair my car wasn't there with a car for me. So I had to wait for an hour
The car that I can drive for this coming week is an older Mitsubishi Colt.
When I got in it I couldn't start it
It's not a regular 5-speed or automatic, nooooo it's some sort of tip-tronic sort of automatic whatever it is.
It doesn't have a clutch, that's for sure.
All I need to do is push the gaspedal and a small display tells me when to push the shift knob a little forward. Then it changes gears up.

Because it's the 13th today, at a traffic light I put the shift knob to the right (N= neutral) to not have to push the break pedal. Then when the light turned green it stayed in gear 0!!!!! the car didn't move and when I pushed the gas pedal all I heard was the engine. AARGH! Traffic was piling up behind me
Eventually I got the car running again.
Hi Marcia!
I feel SO sorry for U! ...I really hope you get your Bugje back SOON ;-> ...nice & with fresh paint = shiny!!
