I can't tell you how many of these little things have gone wrong, electrical gremlins being the big ones.

As of right now, I find myself spending just about the same money on my car just trying to keep it going, hence why I thought of doing this. I have some time to decide just exactly what I am going to do, and I'm not in a huge rush to sell my car. I can keep saving in the mean time. I do know however that this car is just not rewarding in any way to own, I've lost the joy in driving it. It sounds stupid to say but having a car I enjoy is something that I've always turned to cheer me up, nothing quite as soothing as you and the car windows down on a blast on the back roads, I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.
