Toyota Celica = No Go No Mo', Almost Dead Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So its happened. My Car is about 90 percent done-zo. On Friday I was driving and blew a radiator hose. For those of you who have seen that tubgirl website yeah thats what it looked like all over my hood and windshield. So I replaced that and thought itd be fine. Nope its deciding that overheating everytime I drive is the cool thing to do. My dads warned me for a year that I would need a new engine because mines getting tired but I didnt listen and didnt save any money. Now the car is pretty much going to kill over and I wont be able to fix it. It wouldnt be much to get a new 5sfe. Probably 300 bucks but then my dad would have to build it up and thatd take a while cuz hes a 60 year old man but hey you cant beat FREE mechanical labor. :-) So im hoping maybe just maybe before the engine dies that I can get outta debt and look at new cars. Probably wont happen but hey its a nice dream. An older Lexus IS300 is sounding pretty tempting

So anyways yeah I doubt ill be making it around to any shows this year in my car. :-(

I guess thats what happens though when you have 230,000 miles on the car and you have personally put 145,000 on in 4.5 years.
