RE: Need suggestions if I should repair my 84 or get a new car(long)

[Andrew Wong <mkii_84@yahoo.com>]

I don't live in a big city, but I will end up using it
just for working.  I will end up working on weekends
only since I have a lot of homework during the week. I
won't be driving the car daily too since I will end up
using the school bus but if I need to stay after
school I will drive.  I also have other forms of
transportation but when I do drive it I might have to
take people.
Here is a pic of my car
