I think my 727 is fried. Now I'm at a crossroads...

I am convinced my car has a soul, and she hates me. Either that or she has one hell of a sense of humor.

I called the transmission guy yesterday to order a rebuild kit as a pre-emptive strike, and he said it'll be here in a couple days. Okay fine, everything is hunky dory. Then I drive the Cuda around like normal today, just running some errands, and wouldn't ya know it, she starts slipping and hesitating when shifting gears. No fluid coming out yet. Trying to make it home, and now the fluid starts coming out.

Also during this relatively short trip, the steering starts acting funny -- like it's skipping a tooth every time I turn to the left. And now I'm noticing that every single component in the suspension is creaking with any movement. Edith is sick and she's going to go away for a while....
