Dang, my car busted

:,(

My car died! There goes another $600, and on top of that, my gas tank was leaking, another $150!

So sad... so close to Tinley. *sniffle* :tears:

Cars are a money sink...

$600 for what thats nuts i dont know i guess its because im from a small town but my brother is a mechanic and he doesnt even charge that much to replace a engine hopefully you can still make tinely i was planning to but dont know if it will be possible for me either

Fuel pump replacement and filter is 600$. I go to a small farm and auto repair. The guy is super nice and honest; and a heck of a LOT cheaper than other places around here. Helps that he's only a mile away. :)

Sorry to hear about your car. It seems to be going around here lately. We had my husband's car die about 3 weeks ago. Died.... dead... gone. They wanted $4000 to replace the engine! So we now have a new car, which I LOVE but never get to drive. :rolleyes: (although I do get to take it Daytona)

I have to drop some serious money on my car too. I was going to VA Beach last week and we rear-ended another car. (Not our fault though).

I have to replace the front bumper and the airbags. And then if I choose to, replace the fender and grill, but those are mostly for cosmetic reasons.

Cars are definitely money eaters. :(

I'm sorry to hear that!

I'm currently on a truck hunt myself because while my car hasn't died quite yet, its on its last leg. My boyfriend is a mechanic and even he can't keep my hunk of junk running.

Hopefully your car runs like gold now!

Sucks when cars crap out :( I feel for ya Connie :hug:

If you lived closer I'd fix it for you ;) Depending on make & model fuel pumps are a quick fix :D You buy the parts & a case of beer and you'ld be good to go - It's always the labor that kills ya :P We get a nice discount on parts which helps a lot.

maybe if your black blood is big enough you can ride him there!:banana::snake:

oh ya, and sorry to hear about your car...

my car has been in the shop for two weeks. first they thought it was a fuel injector, then something w/ the turbo, but they really don't know what's up :(....

hahaha i am budgeting around $2k for it LOL!!
