Need advice please
Big problem with my car situation:
Ok, my beater '87 chevy got pulled over AGAIN for having a loud exhaust (no muffler, 02 sensor fell off). They just warned me, but this will happen again, i'm sure of it. I can't afford to fix this car, plus it's not worth it: Blown shocks, bad tires, bad brakes, exhaust problems, rust everywhere, etc etc. I know it's not safe driving it, but it's all I have right now.
So i need a new car, I know that. This isn't a case of wanting a new car, I actually need one. The dilema is here: I have to fix the conquest and my motorcycle before I can sell them to get any real money. But in the time im fixing them, I can get pulled over again for the exhaust (plus be in the deathtrap in the first place).
Buying the motorcyle was perhaps the worst financial mistake of my life (19 years old), I know this now. I can't go back in the past, so I've got to fix what I have now. I'm willing to sell both my conquest and the motorcycle to get a safe, working car, but due to money and winter, this is near impossible at the moment.
Should I try to finance a newer car? Should I buy another beater? Should I continue driving the current beater till I can fix and sell the other cars?
I'm going a little crazy right now, sorry for the rant.
PS: Not looking for "Well you should have done this in the first place, blah blah blah" type flames. If you think you can help my situation, please post, if not, don't.
