how bad is the shitbox?
>>
>>15420359

it's shooting oil of the exhaust and won't stay running for longer than 8-12 seconds
>>
>>15420381

out of the exhaust*
>>
>>15420381
Just block the exhaust up then, done.
>>
>>15420343
well, since its fucked and only worth its scrap value, why not just rip the car apart and see what you can find wrong?
>>
>>15420343
Take it apart, sell it's parts for REALLY cheap.

I'm sure you can find something worth selling in it.

Meanwhile work. You should have 1000 for another shit box soon enough.
>>
>>15420494

I'm tired of buying shitboxes though. It end result is always the same.

Then stop being poor.

Take a bus for a while, save some cash for a 4000 dollar corrola.

I always see posts by americans saying it isn't simple to stop being poor but it really is if you just put in the minimum amount of effort. They never spend their money smart. Can't afford their rent but they can buy $2000 speakers or when they get their tax refunds they spend it all on a new TV and junk food.
>>
>>15420600

true, americans waste money on shitty consumer items like expensive cell phones, media, wasteful food, etc and then complain about how previous generations fucked them over.

well when your grandparents were younger they didn't spend thousands every year on a cell phone, or internet, or cable, or waste money eating out all the time, etc etc. maybe you should take a look at your own spending habits and realize where you're going wrong

thankfully my rent includes internet/electricity/etc, i wish i could ditch my cell phone and save that $700 per year but unfortunately i need it for work

but really, life is only expensive if you want to live lavishly
>>
>>15420600
IT'S THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

TOO MANY FUCKERS HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT OPPORTUNITY MEANS

THEY RATHER HAVE THE IMMEDIATE PLEASURE THAN THE LONG LASTING HAPPINESS.

THEN THEY COMPLAIN AND BLAME THE SYSTEM

FUCK.

So, bad or no compression. Or maybe you have a stuck PCV valve ($10).

i'm sure that would be way better money spent than $50 invested
>>
>>15420505
Buying a expensive car doesn't change this either. You've just thrown more money away.

If you put down your head and push as hard as you can for a year, you can turn things around anon. It's possible. No drugs. No liquor, no movie theatre or McDonald. Costco and internet and savings. All you need

Not if it's jammed open. Symptoms are similar to a huge air leak plus oil consumption.
