My Week v.Aug14-17.2006
Well I've had an interesting week so far.
Monday: I had to say good bye to my best friend because shes leaving for college and I wouldn't get to see her before she goes. I left for my youth church camp about 30 minutes late because I was talking with her and helping her pack, so I was rushing. I had noticed that it was harder to shift that day but didn't think anything of it. When I finally found the road to turn off, I downshifted and braked to slow to make the turn, when I felt something snap on my clutch pedal. I let out the clutch to see what happened, and nothing happened. Still in neutral, so I coasted a little up the road and pulled over. I was still about 3 or 4 miles from the camp, but I figured I'd walk(I had no cell phone service), and come back for my stuff later. I got out of my car, popped the hood to check my clutch cable(I thought it might have been that). I checked it but it seemed fine. As I closed the hood a guy stopped coming from the direction I was going. He gave me a ride up the road to my camp. Oh and also my hood wouldn't shut all the way, only the secondary latch was clipping. My dad came up later that night and we pulled my car back to the camp. We checked out the clutch cable but it seemed all intact. I was able to make the car move slightly in 2nd(5k rpm), 3rd(5.5k) and reverse(~4.5k) but not very much.
Tuesday: Had my dad come up and we had AAA come tow my car to a garage up near where I was.
Wednesday: My brother(He has Down Syndrome) over ate and was running around for a game and ended up throwing up. Later he went out tubing on a boat and threw up and otherstuff. He was not looking well, so my dad came back up to talk to him and bring medicine. He told my what the mechanic thinks is wrong, the clutch plate. He said that the gears are in great condition, but hes going to check through everything. End result $750. Then that night we were playing a game(Signs, I'll look for a description later) when my friend chased me down and tackled me because I knocked his bottle of water when he was drinking it. I fell on a section where the tile from the kitchen meets the carpet, which is about 1/2 inch lower than the tile. It took a huge chunk out of my knee, right where it bends. So I had to go to the ER for stitches. I didn't end up getting stitches because it wasn't deep enough, so I got superglued.

I'm trying to decide what to do. Whether to sell the crx and get something else. I just don't know what else to get. I like hatchs, but they're next to impossible to find around here. I would like to stay Honda.
