RIP 3000GT

So, earlier this week, my car kicked the bucket. Apparently, a broken valve, and a possibly bent crankshaft means that it’d cost more than it’s worth to have it completely inspected and then repaired. As a result, I’ll most likely be donating my car to one of the vehicle-pickup charities, like the California Council for the Blind (no, they don’t drive the car away, and yes, that joke has been made). What next? Hard to say. Fortunately, I have a car accessible to me pretty much whenever, so immediate replacement hasn’t been a huge necessity. However, I would like to have a car, and though I can’t afford one of the newer Mini Cooper’s, an old one might do the trick. Hard to say, though, whether I’ll a.) be able to afford it, and b.) be able to fix up one I could afford properly. We’ll see, though, I suppose. 😀 The 3000GT is dead – long live the 3000GT. I really liked that car, and though it gave me a lot of mechanical difficulty, was always fun to drive. I hope that the CCftB gets good use out of it, and is either able to fix it up, or find its still-working parts (of which there are many) a good home.
