well, one day, I jumped in the Trooper to head to work (was a Monday I believe, maybe 3 weeks ago now) and it didn't want to shift out of first gear. was just fine the day before then all of the sudden not overnight.

We haven't looked into what's wrong at all yet. Could be dead transmission. Could be transmission fluid low/missing. If it's the first, well, I'm of the opinion we could spend $2000-$4000 and fix this car and keep truckin' (no pun intended). Chris is of a similar opinion, but thinks we should sink the $4000 or so into a running used car like a civic or something that we know would run forever and preferably something that gets much better gas mileage.

We'll have to find out what's wrong with it exactly first though.
