Car trouble

Last month I mentioned that my car was seriously f#@-ed. Well, its now the middle of January and its still f#@-ed. I hate having to get my car serviced, so over the years I've done what every other poor, lazy, idiotic car owner does: I ignored the problem. Now, I'm seriously thinking that I should get it looked at. Based on what I've been told by friends, I'm looking at major engine repair/replacement. Holy crap I'm an idiot. Maybe I would be better off just getting a new car. I'm kinda attached to the little old green-machine as I've had it for about 10 years now. Fixing it would still cost me less money, I guess.
