Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML
Today, I need money to fix my car, I need my car to get to work, and I need work to get money. FML
Today, my car broke down dead in the middle of the highway. As I was unable to get it out of the road, it was impounded, and my insurance won't help. Now I'm further in debt and struggling to get to work. FML
Today, my fiancée wrecked my car so I had to use my other car to pick her up. Ten minutes after I did, my other car broke down in the middle of the road and I had to get it towed. My insurance covers none of these incidents. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight about a clogged toilet. He was yelling about not having enough money to buy a better plunger and so I stormed out to buy one myself. While pulling his truck into traffic, a car hit me causing $1000 in damage. FML
Today, I got a text from my dad asking about my car in the shop. I'm trying to show them that I can actually be independent, but now they know that not only will it cost all my savings account to fix it, but also that my boyfriend will be driving me to work for the next month while the shop waits for the parts. FML
Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML

Insurance? If your boyfriend is driving uninsured or the car is uninsured then YDI. Otherwise there's no need to "work" to fix/get the car's money

Can a coworker or friends give you a ride?

Maybe you could get a bus or a cab. Then you can make your money and still have a job

Get a new boyfriend instead

Hope your boyfriend can fork over the cash to help you get a new car if your insurance sucks!

Dang OP. Sorry to hear about that, maybe bus it?.. I hate buses too I know. Smelly people... crowded..

Here's an idea. You don't need a brand new car. Go to Craigslist, get something that runs and drives for under a grand. Get something nicer on down the road when you can afford it.

I can't express in words how badly this would turn out.

She probably didn't mean a brand new car, just one that is new to her. It's a pretty common use of language. A car for under 1k sounds like a waste of 1k.

How would it turn out badly? You get your me mechanic to check it out before you buy. As long as it gets from A to B, who cares? OP is from Illinois, and probably not Chicago. They probably see clunkers everyday. I know, I'm from there and have driven my share of $500 cars. Some of them are actually good running cars, just not new and pretty.

Oh not at all. You can get some great deals for under a grand. I didn't mean to be rude about it. I'm just saying it don't need to look good as long as it runs good. If the drivetrain is solid it'll get you where you want to go, know what I'm sayin?

Are there no bus routes by your house, OP? I know it takes longer, but getting to work on the bus is better than not going at all

I hope that there is public transport available. Might take longer but it has to be better than missing work entirely.
