I just got a callback from the mechanic and in order to get it back on the road it’s going to be 850 for a new axle and wheel bearing. This is on top of whatever it’s gonna be when the state tells me what to do about my out-ofproduction catalytic converter that’s making me fail smog checks on my expired registration.

So I dunno. This could probably get as high as 1.5k. The car’s from 2003

    It all depends. How much do you like the car? How available are parts? Do you have the ability to save up for a new car?

    There’s nothing on the market like my Baja so I’m going to run it until I can’t anymore.

        I love it. Literally my dream car. I bought it right after an engine swap so I’m going to run it until it rusts out.

        Not to feed into stereotypes but the only time I’ve been stopped to talk about it was by a lesbian couple in the grocery co-op parking lot lmao.
