Yeah...my car's in the shop now. Needs a flex pipe and two tires to pass inspection. Also getting new brakes on those tires and a front-end alignment. Going to run me $550 to fix a car with a blue-book value of $250. ;^) But the car (a '91 Honda Accord with 235,000 miles) runs like a dream and is completely reliable. It was given to me an in two years I've put (including these repairs) about $1100 into it. To paraphrase: the shit-box you know is better than the shit-box you don't.
