It rains but it pours

After unexpectedly and essentially losing my job I started in April over a month ago due to work slowdown, I had to have $400 in car repairs. On wrapping up an excursion I was dropping a friend off before heading home to today, my transmission has gone out and I had to have a tow. It may prove infeasible to repair the car, but I also cannot afford to replace it given my recent income loss + previous car repair bill. :/ I need to take a look at my options, but given my financial status, my options are very limited. I'm supposed to start a new job in November, but that will be difficult without a car.
