| Topic | think I made the wrong decision getting a car |

I'm pretty dumb when it comes to cars but, one day my truck over heated on me and it turned out it had been leaking coolant. I ended up paying just over $200 for a new radiator and labor. Lets just say that if you let it go too long, $200 is nowhere near what you will be paying. My first car had a warped head gasket because the temperature gauge was broken and I didn't know the car was overheating for like a month (no smoke or anything, just checked the radiator fluid and it was bone dry). Cost me $1500 to get the warp machined out, plus another $500 for a new cooling system and temperature gauge. Which by the way was close to what I originally payed for the car. I was lucky this happened in the middle of the coldest winter we had at the time or the car might have caught on fire or something. --- I am a senior software engineer.
