ugghh having a bad day!

so last night i was driving home from work and my car was acting funny and blowing a lot of smoke from the tail pipe. It was sputtering like it was going to stall. I manage to get all the way home and have FH and a friend look at it. They both think it`s going to be the head gasket! I don`t need this 2 months before my wedding! it`s gonna cost over a grand to fix and i`ll be carless for at least a week!!! There is nothing i hate more then not having my car! Not only am i stuck at work for 9 hours no break now i can`t do anything else!! I can`t even drive FH`s car it`s a manual!!! Ugghhh what a disaster!

*******UPDATE********
well i took the truck to the mechanic yesterday and he called today to tell FH that he belives it`s a cracked head. It could be a head gasket BUT it would cost 2100 to find out and then if it`s not wayyyyy more then that you fix the head so even the mechanic (who could make a ton off of this) said it`s not worth it. my family and FH`s family have been using this guy since before i was able to drive so a long time! so we trust his opnion. it just stinks!! now i am lucky enough that FH`s bro still had his old car (i`m talking OLD an 80 something benz) i can`t drive it forever but now i need a new car 2 months before the wedding and i don`t know what the heck i`m gonna do!!!

Car trouble is the worst. You never realize until you don't have it! Everything will work out some way or another. Try not to stress about it. In the meantime vent to us!

Thanks girls! it wouldn`t be that bad if i wasn`t 2 months out from the wedding! i have money saved but it all has places to go now! i mean i can borrow from one spot to pay another and in the end i may just have to pay off part of the loan on my own but that is if it`s not worse then we think!!! i`m just starting to get crazyyyyy here!! i have an hour before i normally leave for lunch and i can`t get out!!! ahhhh

Have FH take you to a parking lot so you can learn how to drive his car in the meantime. It's really not that hard to drive stick.
