That's the amazing part, is that he never had the transmission replaced and got that many miles! A total fluke. He has kept it very well maintained and it's mostly highway miles which helped. Well it's not totally conked out yet but they told him it can go anytime. I think he's now leaning toward buying another car (a lower-mileage used car of course) and selling my car, then using whatever we get for my car towards the new transmission and then I would inherit that car after it's fixed. It's not like I go anywhere very often by myself anyway working at home, since I stopped therapy. And he's probably only going to be working another 3 years (he hopes to keep working til he's 70) so we don't need a new-new car. just a new-to-us car haha.
