Few things are as bad as repeated car repairs

Since I don't want a new car payment, I've been continuing to drive my 2016 Ford Focus. It's been a good car but three weeks ago it started falling apart. Three trips to the shop, 30 hours of OT work, and over a thousand dollars later she's running as good as ever (knock on wood). I hate car problems.

I have older cars. I work on them myself. But I understand.

@Jonjdw I wish I had that kind of mechanical ability. My uncle's tried to reach me about cars, and the book knowledge made sense. Trying to actually do any repair work was a different story.

@Latenightgamer yes, the problem is there is always obstacles you have to overcome. Like bolts that won’t come out and bolts that get stripped.
