yesterday my car broke. my only car. i started it up, heard a pop and it started missing pretty bad. i limped it a ways then finally pulled over and noticed the bracket that holds the coil on the head was broken so i pulled on the coil and it came out. and it brought the spark plug with it. the bottom few threads on the spark plug are stripped. not a big deal other than the fact that i can't get another spark plug in it meaning the head's stripped. best case scenario is that i'll be able to get a friend to help me pull the head and then have someone fix the threads. worse case is buying a new head.

i just wish my damn credit wasn't so shitty. i can easily afford a new car but with the problems i had last year i know i won't be able to get financed. i don't have any debt now save for a $1500 best buy bill that we're paying off so money is not a problem at all. this just sucks.

No problems other than not being able to get financed for one.

I can probably get one at cost for about 3-400.

Yeah, it has. I don't want to get rid of it. The only down side to it is the gas mileage. I'm probably not going to get rid of it. Just fix it but I'd like to find a second car for the wife and in case something breaks again. It's been great since I bought it.
