Tragedy in the Cole household this week- my beloved 1983 Chevy Celbrity finally died. I had planned on driving this car for another 5-10 years, but either the head gasket is destroyed or the head is cracked, and it just isn’t worth putting a new engine in the car. Another expense I did not want to deal with.
Joy.

Sorry to hear about your car, but think of your new purchase as helping the economy! And, since anything you get now (except a monster SUV) will pollute less and get better mileage, you are helping the environment.
Just helping you see the bright side….:)

And there’s this too, John: now you can go out and buy yourself a Ford!
Remember, real cars don’t wear bowties. ;)

That sucks, and I’m sorry to hear it.

A head gasket is not a big deal. Fix it!

Should I send flowers John, or just make a donation?

Fine! Blown gasket or cracking. And you are throwing away the car because…? If the body and other parts are rust-free and you never pranged it, put a rebuilt motor in it, touch up the other stuff, and continue to drive it. A neighbor of mine has a really nice Celebrity Sport station wagon with 388K on the clock, and she’s getting a rebuild on the motor next week.
