Soon I will be renting a car because I can't keep taking Gill's! Plus, Gill needs new injectors!!! His CEL light just came on. We don't wrench we write checks remember... At least with a new ride it will be under warranty and cost around the same if not less. Little problems would be covered. I decided to take the money I saved up for school and put that toward a new car and take out student loans next semester, since everyone else has student loans. I need something reliable, I would hate to get stranded during winter, AGAIN! If I had a steady job, I would keep it. But my pay depends on tips, I bartend. And I can expect a car payment, I can't expect repair bills...
looks like you have done the math. I hope I did not upset you mentioning it?
