Reply #28: I can top that.

I spent $1000 to fix the A/C in my '93 Integra, and then 4 months later spent $400 to fix the automatic door locks, which then became manual door locks because the mechanics couldn't find a replacement part. It took me only one month to have my tire blowout on the free way and my car to get totaled when I crossed the grass median into traffic moving in the opposite direction. Final price for my automobile: $250.
