I'd ask for more of your thoughts, but just know I'm still chuckling

EDIT: you may have missed the part about being out of work two years, I'd planned on getting a junk yard head and going through it completely, jobbing out the machine work, then being able to swap in that good rebuilt head when replacing the head gasket, just as I'd always planned on replacing the rear end with a later model one...if that makes you feel any better. beggers can't be choosers, high mortgage then loss of income, no second car to get parts with...? hahahahaha

I'd be at a loss with a Chevette, having thought of them most of my life as being up on blocks more than they were on the ground, but personally I'd choose a car with better steering like a Lotus exige (or trying to make my own), but the ex-wife wants four doors that don't sound tinny (and being from a third world country, she's dreamed about land rover, mercedes or volvo...not my cup of tea, but again, with undiagnosed ADHD 49 years, I was never going to be able to buy her a new car, or afford the maintenance by a mechanic...we'll see where i go from here, I am getting better at focusing my dopamine in species appropriate ways now, hehehehe - better concentration, organization and goal setting)

I didn't engineer this depression, but those who did, did it effectively (capital spanking labor)
