I just need to vent

So I was driving around the other day and noticed a burning smell coming from my car. I stopped and popped the hood, nothing wrong. The I notice smoke coming from my passenger side wheel. Then I find my problem - the brakes.

Man I just replaced all my calipers and brakes just under a year ago!! What the hell?! The thing is the same problem happened to me before I changed out all the calipers and brakes. It's just that damn passenger side, I don't know what the hell it is. Maybe it's the one SS brake line I had fitted on that side. It's different from all the other SS brake lines. Could that be my problem? Or is it just bad luck? I don't know.

I'm getting fed up with my car. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I just need something a little more reliable you know what I mean? Especially when I don't have a steady income coming in every week. I need to graduate and get a full time job. Maybe then I wouldn't mind keeping it around, but I'm a full-time college student.

I'm considering selling it, even though I don't really want to. Basically it's a '91 TSI with a G4CS block and a bolt on PTE turbo pushing 288awhp on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno. It needs a new passenger side fender, maybe door, and a rear bumper cover. I'll get into more details if I really do consider selling it.
