you know how cars come up to a time where they start to need one thing after another and it never ends and even though theyre perfectly fine for around their area people feel theyre not upto a long trip as you never know when the next things going to go unless you took it off road and fixed everything and re-registered it, would the trouble of not being able to go places or it putting everything else on hold be two of many reasons why people dont put up with it until its completely worn out or the engine goes then replace it.
some people will put up with it until the engine or transmission goes or cars completely worn out. but not many do. would it be because people need a daily driven car to be able to do atleast a 500km each way trip at any given time to see family or get to work, school or doctors with little to nothing to fix or that isnt putting everything else on hold. a classic or spare car is probably different isnt it. been researching and that seems part of reason |

I wonder if he has the same mindset after finding one and getting married to her. I eagerly await that thread 10 years from now.

Hi
Is there ways to get more quizz nights or special events happening in the copper coast area because it seems that the nearest is adelaide or pirie and it’s a bit far every single time even though every so often is ok What does a daily driver tell you when it’s time to trade up if you’re a drive it till it dies person and will it be ok to keep throwing parts at the ba and drive the it until it completely dies or hang on a couple more years when that starts constantly needing stuff if you don’t want car payments, Guess a classic or collectable car or a car you like is different than a everyday car, have done some looking around and worked out that not many people drive daily cars until they die completely or are completely worn out because while it’s financially cheaper to throw parts or a gearbox at a car and drive it till it dies people need a car they can trust to do a 1000km trip at anytime with little to nothing to fix and all cars as we know get to that point. You still have to check water and oil though And obviously some people don’t have a choice but to fix and keep fixing what they got or another cheap car and drive it till it dies then replace as it’s financially cheaper to a point but spose usually money isn’t only thing to think about |

go to a library and ask a woman out for a date, they are looking for a commitment..
pubs/bar are for one night stands with a lot of competition (other men).. PS don't be shy, be up front with your intentions in both situations..

What does a daily driver tell you when it’s time to trade up if you’re a drive it till it dies person and will it be ok to keep throwing parts at the ba and drive the it until it completely dies or hang on a couple more years when that starts constantly needing stuff if you don’t want car payments,
Guess a classic or collectable car or a car you like is different than a everyday car, have done some looking around and worked out that not many people drive daily cars until they die completely or are completely worn out because while it’s financially cheaper to throw parts or a gearbox at a car and drive it till it dies people need a car they can trust to do a 1000km trip at anytime with little to nothing to fix and all cars as we know get to that point.

Depends on your financial situation I suppose, but probably better getting a few parts now and then, rather than going into debt. In the meantime, try putting away some cash for something better latter on.

probably going to drive the ba till its completely worn out but at same time stock up on parts.
have done some looking around and worked out that not many people drive daily cars until they die completely or are completely worn out because while it’s financially cheaper to throw parts or a gearbox at a car and drive it till it dies people need a car they can trust to do a 1000km trip at anytime with little to nothing to fix and all cars as we know get to that point. You still have to check water and oil though And obviously some people don’t have a choice but to fix and keep fixing what they got or another cheap car and drive it till it dies then replace as it’s financially cheaper to a point but spose usually money isn’t only thing to think about. why else dont people drive everyday cars till they die or for a couple more years when they start providing clues to when to replace. isnt it financially cheaper to throw parts at them and drive then till they die or for a couple more years. what do people do if they want a particular car and they dont quite have the cash saved and dont want payments and need something |

Guess all you could do is try and get the price down or offer them your labour or something as part payment. |

after the looking around that was done have worked out that its probably because people need a everyday car that can do a 500-1000km trip each way with little to nothing to fix everytime and while its financially cheaper to throw parts at them and drive them a bit longer or until it blows up whichever comes first spose people need the dependebility in everyday cars and classics or collectables or a car you like is different to a daily even if you took it on a 1500km eacy way trip interstate would that be about right.
usually money isnt only thing to think about for a daily and obviousely some people have little choice but to put up with what they got or another cheap one until it dies then replace. if there was a particular model you want thatd be different then youd get best one around at time and get a few jobs done at a time to keep itt going for example having a vp holden and wanting a ed fairmont years back, both are and were similar age but thats different |
