I took my car in for some repair work today, and they reviewed what else is wrong with it...and it's not worth doing the work they had planned to do. I might need a new transmission ($1800). I might need a new catalytic converter ($400). I definitely need $600 of ball joints, sensors, and other junk. The car is probably worth less than $2000, though, so it makes more sense to bid farewell to the Engine of Doom and get another car.

This puts new emphasis on the whole Gencon or Not question. Do I not go because it's several hundred dollars that I should save for a car, or do I scramble like a crazy person to assemble a porfolio of doom and head to Gencon because more than ever I need to get going on this Artist as a Career thing, and this is a useful step?

Also, this means I'm once again open to suggestions for a good, reliable car to replace my dying lump of garbage.
