i am undecided on what to do

my choices are either, buy a cheap car to drive about with the intent of fixing the wrx up over time

riding the bike until the car is fixed aka saving money like a mad man

selling the shell, cutting my losses and chocking this up to a life lesson learned

i have about 4k in the bank that i have been saving up for trips and an emergencies, this i deem an emergency

Fuck that car man. Why not just put a stock engine in it. It damn sure wouldn't cost you 6.5k.

Im almost 30 and my mom still freaks if I mention my riding, track days or playing with my 4 wheeler.
