$AMOUNT_OF_PAYCHECK - $COST_OF_CAR_REPAIR <= 0

(The car has about 95k miles on it - most of what's being repaired is stuff that you'd expect to last about that long. Still. Ouch.)

When my VW did that twice, I bought a new car.

Nod. In some idealized universe I'd buy a new vehicle. However, in this universe we're still paying off Pygment's new vehicle. Also, the VW diesel models I had my eye on did not get the LEV rating I was hoping for so I'm back to trying to figure out just what I want my next car to be.

When my VW refused to crank three time in three weeks and had to be towed into the shop every time, I got rid of it. Neither of my current vehicles have any sort of microprocessor operated equipment (with the exception of the radio in my truck).
