So Birdy won't go. Birdy starts, but the clutch is acting weird, acceleration is really slow (and doesn't happen past 40 MPH), the engine heated up way faster than usual (unless the gauge is wrong), and there is a crackling sound under the hood at idle.
I've looked this up and it sounds like it could be anything from a catalytic converter (unfortunately I didn't smell the exhaust so I'm not sure) to a fuel filter. To my transmission failing. I feel like it might be the latter, since she acts generally okay in first and second and then like crap in third.
I really don't have the money to spend on fixing her or getting another crappy car.

Dear Birdy,
Please get well soon. You were working perfectly (well..."perfectly") Monday. I know I left the back windows down a couple inches, but I'm pretty sure that didn't cause a catastrophic mechanical failure. I know I'll have to get you towed to have JR take a look at you, but if it's a catalytic converter honey, then I just can't pay for it. You better not have anything really wrong with you, or I will be forced to sell you to a junkyard which will cut you up and part you out. I was hoping to keep you in the family after we were done together. I was hoping you would keep going past 190,000 miles (come on, you're a Nissan!). But now that's all up in the air.
Love and best wishes,
Allison
