I'm a decent driver and I have a ton of experience keeping cheap old cars
going for just awhile longer...

Someone once asked me how I learned so much about how cars work and how to
fix them and how they could learn it too; I told them it was simple - just
sell that nice reliable car he had, buy one for $1,000-$1,500 and depend on
it to get to work.  Also: buy $70 worth of random tools and use them
however you can when the time comes.  LOL  Well, it worked for me.
