This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

You could just buy your own. Some cost less than a 100 bucks and you just suction them on and you're good to go.

I'd only use it once or twice a year - the main advantage would be the ability to have GPS in Canada without paying roaming charges on my phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ahem. I was also married before 25.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

At that point you would almost certainly be better off getting a new (for you) car.

Yeah, probably.

Except we have no money at all - my dad will help out with the repair cost, but only up to about $1500. If it's more than that, no help, and the only money we'd have to buy a car with would be the $400 or so we'd get selling this one for parts. Which will get us...maybe half a scooter. Or a month and a half of zipcar. Fuck fuck fuck we're fucked.

I dunno, depends on the condition of the rest of the car. If everything else is working well, a car with a $3,000 new engine might be better than a $3,000 used car (plus taxes). A $3,000 dollar used car is probably going to need a repair (or maintenance) or two pretty soon. If you have the budget to buy a more expensive used car, then it's probably time to do it.

JZ, if you could get together a down payment (parental or sibling loan?) getting a newer, really reliable car would be so much better long-term, and honestly save money. And Toyota dealers, especially, seem to be willing to make deals right now - I looked locally and Toyota had some 60-month, 0% car loans available.

I believe the schedule's not great. I'll ask E at work for the full skinny.
