Insert Sad Face Here

My car is having issues.  I didn't think it was so bad until today when we were on the road to Chicago and it just was not driving very well.  It looks like the clutch is going out on it.  Yep, expensive fix.  This really kind of sucks because not only did we have plans to go to Chicago today, but we found out this morning that my sister-in-law and family is in town for the weekend too.  My poor Matrix!  So yeah, stuck without transportation until we get it checked out because we don't want to drive it more than absolutely necessary.
