I'm in a bind right now Veeky Forums

and if by lift you mean carpool, no one from work lives near me that works my hours. I'm 2nd shift, last person to leave the building by an hour.

that's padding moron. bet you think every pair of tits is huge as well because you've never seen a womans underwear.

fix the civic. if all it needs is the head gasket it's better to do that than buy an unknown car that might shit the bed.

Those things don't come with D13s

Now you're just letting your pride get the best of you. You've got an easy sooution. Yea it's an auto and probably junk but for $1500 it'll do what you need and be a good temp car. Can resell it for close to what you pay

there is metal in the oil, and I think it has a wrapped head.

An engine swap is easier, and faster. I dont have the time, or room for a rebuild.

my bad, 5th gen civic
D15 then

I drove my parents 1999 corolla with an auto. it was the worst thing in the world. I swear to god, I am never owning an automatic transmission car in my life.
my choice is this:
A. Spend time, and money fixing the Civic
B. Spend a more money and buy a new beater

A. Takes time, and some money away from my main build
B. Takes more money away from my main build + potential issues with the beater

Note: The Civic is in complete shit condition. saggy headliner, two out of 4 door handles are broken, rear bumper falling off, rust everywhere, shifter looser than a $2 whore, cracked windshield, blown suspension, hood wont latch half the time, half the exhaust is missing.
new brakes tho

Why do people blow head gaskets? How hard is it to keep antifreeze in your car?

And I know that civic just doesn't blow a head gasket because it's old either

100% my fault.

I had an unchecked coolant leak, and overheated once.
I then had my electric fan fail, and over heated at another time.

I then had my water pump fail, and leak out the of seep hole, I just kept 2 gallons of water in the car during the summer, and topped off before driving until I had the time to replace the pump. 110% my fault, was super lazy. I brought this on myself.

>hose bursts
>drive it up a long steep hill
>what is cel or temp guage
>obviously its a conspiracy by the car companies to make me to back to the dealership!

but also, fuck cars that turn the CEL on every 10 000km just because "its time for a service"

That's not why women have pads in their panties lol
