Talk me off the ledge, or shove me off.
I took the car down in April to do the IRS swap. FTBR, LPW, MM Coil overs, all the good stuff. Dumped a ton of money into it, and still, 4 months later I'm not seeing the end of the tunnel. I've driven it 39 miles since then. Spent thousands.
Put a heater core in it this past week and finished it up Saturday. Started the car up and bled the system. Well, the new one popped and put coolant on the carpet. I rolled it back inside dejected after a days worth of work went to waste. Especially when it's 25 year old plastic that inevitably breaks more every time you remove it.
Worst part is, I have to redo it to drive it (I refuse to bypass it and be ghetto as frig). Add in the other 10-15 tasks that will take me (due to time constraints) another 5 months, I'm over it. I'm ready to sell or trade it. I just don't want to put more money in it. I've got damn near 15k in it now, and it's still not over.
I wish I would've never sold my 2016 GT PP. I just want to cruise to CC, the beach, and MW. But nope, getting married in a month and can't fix it because I don't have time to pull the dash/nor am I motivated.
I know I'm not the only one. Those of you with mostly OE cars that don't need to be baby sat, feel lucky. Not all of us have that luxury.
