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*

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. (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

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

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

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 ....
