It’s not too difficult, but with certain pants I do wish it were longer in the shaft.

This is a very individual thing, but for what it’s worth I could never see myself feeling comfortable with something 5" long in my underpants all day.

I generally agree, which is why we’ve spent a bunch of money getting two different mechanics to look at it, then quote for repairs.
The head gasket is blown, and due to our rural location parts need to be sent away not only for repairs, but some diagnostics as well. That, ontop of the fact that a head gasket repair is a hefty sum in and of itself, and our car’s 17 year old age alongside very high milage means we can get a better car than we currently have for cheaper or the same as repairs will cost on the old one.

I really wish the car was worth more in it’s current state, but it’s basically scrap metal because no one around here wants to fix an old shitty car anyway, even if they have the know-how or time.

Thanks so much for the kind words, it’s greatly appreciated.

Car will cost more to fix than it’s worth.
We can’t afford another car, either.
My stomach hurts from stress.

Today our car blew up, so there’s that.

It’s parked on the side of the road, and we’ll get it towed to the mechanics tomorrow but like, I think it’s the damn head gasket.
There goes literally the entireity of our “house savings” account.

I feel ya. I too have a blown head gasket. And a broken cambelt on another car. And I’m literally on the driveway investigating whether the third car has a blown thrust bearing or not.

One step forward, two steps back. 

Sorry to hear you’re also in the midst of car hell. I really hope things get better for you soon – and I hope your thrust bearing isn’t blown on your third car. As they say, when it rains, it pours hey?

*sigh*
At least we have my shitty “to work and back” bomb car so my family is not literally stranded. Today is Sunday, nothing can be done. Fuckit – may as well have a beer.
