I deleted the post here, but this post really angered people: https://old.reddit.com/r/askcarguys/comments/17w1pur/what_happens_if_i_choose_not_to_pick_my_car_up/

I wasn’t going to leave the truck with the mechanic. I was mad that I approved work I couldn’t afford. I’ll be picking it up this afternoon. However, I cannot keep dumping money into this car. I don’t need to know how shitty anything but Hondas and Toyotas are. This was what I could afford. The newest Honda/Toyota near me for the price I paid was early 90s.

I’ve replaced a shit ton of stuff, but the transmission on these things are apparently shitty. I just need advice.

Stuff I’ve replaced:

-Fuel pump

-Water pump

-Brake lines

-Spider injectors (x2)

-Spark plugs

-Fuel pressure regulator

-Filler neck

-Purge solenoid

-Temperature sensor regulator

-Door pins

-Alternator
