My car's dead, I live far from work, I'm broke, repairing it's really expensive, but buying a new car is impossible.

I hate living.

My ex-wife had a complete mental breakdown and ended up in the looney bin, and I had to get my son off the bus an hour away with a broken starter. Ive got 3 days to figure out how im going to adapt to being a full time parent with no support.
Life gets hard sometimes. Roll your fucking sleeves up and figure it out.

step 1: get the cheapest rental car you can from enterprise. it will probably be a nissan versa and that’s fine, you just need transportation at this point.
step 2: decide if repairing your car is an option. if its not, then find the cheapest crown vic/grand marquis or toyota corolla you can find that runs and drive it into the ground.

shit happens. if you’re a good worker and your boss likes you, there’s nothing to worry about. just figure it out in the next couple days.

Depending on the situation, if I was that fucked I'd do a trade in at a dealership and just fucking pray to find something useable with affordable payments that could help get back on my feet. They might only give you $400 for your shit box but when the situation is that dire, I dunno. I don't usually ever recommend getting into debt for a car but you might have to.

So quit bitching and get to work. I had to cut the hood off my Camry, on new years eve with a body grinder, while wearing a defibrillator. Rented a car for two days, took two days vacation, glued together the front, ordered a radiator/support/headlights/etc, found a decent junkyard hood and had it on the road without missing a day of work. Sometimes life sucks.

You deserve to lose.
Just whinging with no explanation makes you the worst type of poster. Even if somebody could give you the time of day to reach out and help, your post says nothing, nobody can help you, you fucking loser. KYS.

listen here trust fund kid, $5k isn't a shitbox, that's damn near luxury.
under $2k, then you're in shitbox territory. the lower the value, the better. cars where you have to hit them to make the headlights work. cars so rusty they have holes in the suspension and the wheels leak air through the metal. you can't operate on my level. if you was from where i was from you'd be fuckin' dead.
