My Own Car

For two years I drive 173 miles one way to get my son. He wanted to remain in the same school when I had to move to try to better our household. He is student council band member and races. He stays so busy and has the best of friends. I researched the school here and was appalled at the juvenile crime. I can't create a problem where I don't have one. Takes me 3 hours one way to get him and bring him home on the weekends. i have never owned my own new car that would be great on gas and not worried to travel so much. I work in public safety and cant even afford a decent car that doesn't stop on me after working 8 hours, I drive until at least 11pm when I get home, and take him back Sunday so he can go to school. I will continue to sacrifice for my son, but getting me a dependable car would help me so much and I can't get ahead to get one.  Please if you can help in anyway I would be so greatful.
