Members JnBroadbent Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 No....just had to pay rent, and daycare. Oh...and i believe you have to be 25 to rent a car. I need five more years Some places are 25, some are 21. You gotta have alot of room on the CC though just as a safety precaution for them. Speak with the hiring manager, explain the situation and see what he can do for you. I.e. talk other people in your area that work there for carpool.

Members jimwratt Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Maybe you could go to one of those cash advance places and use A LITTLE BIT of money for a cab to get there and see about getting into a carpool. You wouldn't have to necessarily do it both ways either. You could bus it home. You could call your boss and let him/her know about your situation and maybe they can let you know about some existing carpools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyBird Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 You'd be surprised how cheap some cars can be. I got my Camaro for $1500. A whole car, runs perfectly. Had to replace the brake pads and the starter went out... but it's easy to work on and pretty simple. Obviously, $1500 isnt a small amount of money, but maybe you could try to get a loan or something and find another car or fix the one you have. If it's a more common car you may be able to snatch another transmission from a junkyard or something. But this is one of htose times where friends with tools and equipment would help a lot and I dont get the impression you have any of those... I don't know what to tell you, man. You may have to just get a job closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stephen Colbert Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Same thing happened to me. I rented a car to get to work. But finally I quit that job, and got a new job, for less money, closer to home, because the car rental fees were killing my paycheck anyway.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thrust Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Umm......how about----go to a bank and get a loan? Given your situation I'm sure they would lend you enough to, at minimum, get your car fixed. Be sure to speak to a loan officer and explain your situation fully (and stress that you just got a NEW/GOOD job). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
