Bad Car-ma

I am beginning to think that I have the worst luck when it comes to cars, or at least one car in particular. I have owned my 2001 Kia Sephia for three years. (Yes, a Kia, and trust me, learned that lesson). In March I had to replace the transmission in my car, either that or get a new car. After WEEKS of car shopping, and tons of advice from various sources, I chose to fix the car. After spending the money to fix the transmission the problem was not solved. I later find out that when I had my axle replaced the idiot mechanics installed an axle that has no business being anywhere near a kia, therefore the the axle kept slipping out of the transmission. So, long story, and plenty of rage later, I replaced a transmission that didn't need to be replaced. Ever since then my car has worked beautifully, at least until Monday. I've been very stressed and overwhelmed lately, which of course means, karma wants to kick me while I'm down. My car broke down while I was merging onto 65 from 85. All of a sudden my temperature gauge jumped from mid way to significantly past high, and the car over heated and the engine locked and I had to coast to a stop on the exit ramp near downtown Montgomery. Luckily, a very nice gentleman stopped and helped me out. He looked and noticed a break in the radiator, he attempted to pour antifreeze into the car in hopes to get it started long enough to remove me from the exit ramp. All attempts failed. So, I had to call AAA to be towed to the nearest auto shop. (Random but, AAA is a real life saver, it has helped me several times) After being towed the mechanic looked at my car to assess the damage. The verdict is......THE ENGINE BLEW. Meaning the mother of all breakdowns, no going back, the end of the road, Go to jail go directly to jail do not pass go do not collect $200. So, I guess I must have really bad Car-ma, now I'm carless and without transportation. And the worst thing is my only option is a complete engine re-build, which means not worth the money, might as well buy a new car. I feel like everything is pulling me down in all different directions. I need a major stress release. I need a break, or I'm afraid I'll crack under pressure. My car literally and completely dying was the last thing I needed. AHHHH, I need to cleanse my car-ma!!!
