All I can say is I am thoroughly frustrated with this car. Looks like I'll be purchasing a beater of some sort and parking the car uninsured in my driveway under a car cover. I like the car, but I can't afford to rent cars and constantly throw money into this thing as a daily driver.

Needless to say I am a bit sore about the entire decision to purchase this car. Trying to keep a level head about the whole thing since I sort of knew what I was getting into. Then again I'm almost thinking perhaps I should just cut my losses and sell it. I have made a few stupid automotive decisions in my life, and this has to be the absolute worst as far as damage to my finances. Should have just kept the fucking Focus.
