QTDDTOTT

I don't really have a question but I want to vent and whine

>want to retire my dodge truck
>spend 5k on a subaru outback
>spend another 3k for head gaskets
>after 2 months it has HG symptoms again
>scared as fuck and poor
>taking it into mechanic tomorrow
>90% sure he's gonna say the HG failed right after he fixed them
>can't afford another 3k
>will have to sell it at massive loss and buy another car

I fell for the meme, I'm out 1/3rd of my yearly earnings and I feel like shit and super stressed out and can't stop this gnawing pain in my stomach


>gonna have to try an find some old toyota corolla for like 1500 and hope that doesn't kill itself on me

Depends on what you have, but yes you'll usually come out with more money but it will take a year or two to sell everything off. However if you have something rare, say a Saab, you might have it parted out in a month or two.

>late model VAG product.

No.

Theres only one rule of thumb during clutch jobs:

Replace EVERYTHING while you're in there.

It is an exceptional car if it wasn’t black owned.

Nigga, the car runs at a thousand degrees. Seems like a great thing to put next to the fuel tank.

If it's the same mechanic, tell him to fix it for free since his repair was shit. If he won't, sell it ASAP on craigslist for super cheap and call it a hard lesson learned. You will never get that money back, just kiss it goodbye now.

Not getting enough fuel, probably just needs an adjustment. Check that the choke valve is closed on cold start too.

If you can get around OK on snow and ice without, then fine. Some all seasons are garbage in the cold, some are pretty good. I got some General Altimax rt43 (all seasons) last fall and they kick ass in snow and ice.

ACURA MDX, Q7, or BMW X3?

Yes, I know the X3 is out of the place when I just listed 2 3-Row SUVS, but the X3 is all I really need. The larger size is just for carrying more shit if I really need to.

No, the Q5 sucks, so don't rec that.
