horrible news cece... sorry to hear it. but i can completely understand it.
the VX is just plainly not the most efficient vehicle to own if you dont have the money to take care of it.
although i do hope that there is another VX in your future once financial problems cease.
i know they are kinda dumpy cars for convienences but the saturns are actually decent cars, and you can get a 'redline' edition vue that runs almost 300hp. with a 100k mile warranty. and used they run about 15k. i was looking into these when i decided to sell my VX.
but then a wonderfully maintained 4runner just fell into my lap. and yes, its boring as hell to drive but i have had it for a month and the only thing i've done is charged the battery up. and dont forsee any other problems. i even came out 5k up on the deal (which definately helps with school costs). and that also means that i get to spend a little on some toys for it, which is fun.
hope you can get something that you enjoy
at least a little bit...
