Got a text message while at work tonight that I needed to call the mechanic as soon as I possibly could so while waiting for the next wave of Pfizer to show I called and learned that my car is dead. A complete engine rebuild would cost $2,200 bucks and for that kind of money I could probably put a down payment on a dependable truck.

Not sure how I feel regarding that I now need a new car in order to get to class, and work. On one hand I am relieved that I can finally get rid of the car that has cost so much for repairs etc. But on the other hand I would be fooling myself if I said that I did not have some attachment to it, my Grandfather helped me buy the car and it has been the only vehicle I have owned and in some weird sense I feel that when I get another vehicle I will somehow lose a connection to my grandfather's memory or something. Very weird feeling.

Besides there is a lot of crap I need to clean out of that car.

At least it was a crap car considering one of your previous blogs.

Still pretty shitty though =/

Clean it out, sell it for scrap, put a down payment on a nice hybrid or something.

Save part of it like the car ornament, keep it in the glove compartment of your new car.

Or if you're like me, just get the same car every time with a newer model. You already know what you want.

As close to you as your car is, you need to realize its just a car, and doesn't represent the memories that you and your grandfather had. My advise would be to sell the car and get something reliable.
