Auto Repair: damned if you do, damned if you don't

Today I learned that replacing the gas tank on your car can be expensive, but it's still less than what I imagine it would eventually cost by not replacing it. All it takes is one guy wandering past and tossing a cigarette butt and...

Eventually it's going to reach the point that it's no longer worth repairing it. After all, it's 13 years old with over 310,000 kilometers on it; it owes me nothing. But as much as I can't afford to keep fixing it right now, I can less afford replacing it, so it shall continue to be held together with band-aids and duct-tape until something changes.

Let's hope the change that comes is the ability to get a new car, not the necessity of it.
