Humans tend to walk fast
Into each other
Miso soup, miso soup
We all like miso soup
Swirling and twirling
Into each other
Miso soup, miso soup
We're all like miso soup

I'm expecting these repairs to be 1000-1500
Last time it was 800 and the check engine light is back! I just got it "fixed" 3 or so months ago.

And on a unrelated note I'm really excited about the new supra and absolutely love the ftype... I guess cause she reminds me of the elise a little... lol

I'm with Hindi. I saw my first one in the wild yesterday, just happened to be Firestorm Red. Absolutely beautiful car. If I hadn't known it was a Corvette I would have thought it was an exotic. Hard to believe you can get that for under $60K!

Oy.

This is a tough one; I'm not sure what I'd do.

If there's anything I hate, it's throwing money at this kind of problem, especially knowing that there is little assurance that there won't be yet another four-figure repair within the next three months.

Long-term, it would be preferable to me to buy a more reliable car. But, only if I could "afford" it. You have other considerations as well.

This illustrates a phenomenon I've observed: It can be expensive to be poor.

Maybe now would be a good time to find an affordable Miata and some winter tires. An NA or NB (first or second generation) could probably be had for a decent price with winter coming upon us shortly.

At least with a Miata, any repair costs would not be totally lost as they will be in your current car. Your current car is essentially worthless, I'd guess.

A Miata should retain its value quite well at this point, so long as you don't put an excess of miles on it. It would make a decent trade-in after you graduate, get a decent job, and go shopping for your new FR-S.

Something to consider, perhaps. I'm sure you'll find lots of other good advice from the knowledgeable folks here on this forum.
