My car is slowly, but surely, going down hill... No joke. First I wreck it, then my front tires blow out so I have to rock salad shooters on the front, then my speedometer quits working, and my oil pressure gauge quits working, broke the steering wheel, and now I have no heat... UGH!!!! It's going to cost a lot of money to make my car right again

$500 Painting the car
$260 Front Tires
$25 Oil Sensor
$40 Heater Core
? Speedometer Fix
$50 Steering Wheel

Oh and not to mention, I still have that ridiculous header leak... That will require pulling the head to drill out the old manifold bolt, which in return will cost me a head gasket set.. And at that point, I may as well do a valve job, and if I dive that deep into it, I may as well rebuild the engine... All because of a leaky header... Gross

Thanks for the welcome Spartan lol. I'm seriously thinking about just fixing everything, then selling it.

I made the responsible thing and payed off some debt instead of buying a wrecked Z.

How many dents you think it has now. Not the smartest idea just saying.

None because the car is all fiberglass.... The rear quarter panel didn't dent. So it's all good

The body panels aren't fiberglass, they're reinforced reaction injection molded urethane (plastic).
Nice serpentine formation btw.
