Blown Head Gasket/ Preffered help, please

I have a feeling you have been issued many citations in your life because you were felt you above of the law. If you can't obey the law, get the off the road. Plain and simple, end of discussion.

No. You just saw the need to make a personal attack on a thread about an overheating issue. Cut the guy a break.

Trey, do not hesitate to call if you feel suicidal or 911. There are resources available to help you please use them.


But keep the car off the road.
 
It's a rust bucket with a expired inspection certificate and soon to lapse insurance that the kid acknowledges even if it wasn't overheating would not pass inspection. In every state you need a valid license, registration, insurance and/or safety inspection certificate to lawfully operate a vehicle on a public road way. It is a matter of public safety to keep unsafe vehicles off the road, that's why these laws exist. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Once that car touches the road way the kids car is fair game for citation and tow.

4703. Operation of vehicle without official certificate of inspection.
(a) General rule.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, no motor vehicle required to bear current registration plates issued by this Commonwealth and no farm vehicle with a gross weight or gross vehicle weight rating of greater than 17,000 pounds for which a Type D biennial certificate of exemption has been issued shall be driven and no trailer required to bear current registration plates issued by this Commonwealth shall be moved on a highway and no mass transit vehicle shall be operated unless the vehicle displays a currently valid certificate of inspection issued under this chapter.

I've never driven without any of these things -- maybe I should get a medal too?

Kid? Man.....you have no respect for teenagers do you? Your definally part of the majority. First of all
1: i have my ******* license, so stick that somewhere.
2: the car HAS insurance.
3: your the typical jerk towards young people, categorizing them into un experienced and dangerous. And one more dumb statement from you... Mmm never mind. Just please, dont say nothing else as your statements do not intervene with this topic. And you live in Cali? No wonder your so stuck up about young people, you let the "system" get to your head. Try me man, my car has been driven on the road for three weeks. So come at me with more dumb s***.

That s*** dont work for me. You mustve not read the part a therapist didnt work for me either.
If i wanna kill myself, then ima do it. Its MY choice.
 
Hang in there man. We can fix this overheating problem and things will turn up soon for you.

Thanks friend. This guy here is just adding to my problems and i cant handle more stupid unrelevent problems that dont even relate to me. But im trying my best not to go overboard. Its really hard, but i can handle it for awhile, ive gotten this far
 
Might I suggest the military? Fair pay, free college and healthcare afterward. You seem eager to leave your environment, that is one of the best avenues for it.

I know a lot of veterans, and I haven't met one that regrets serving.

I mean, i wouldnt complain. But also i never thought big in that category. As i dont have the body suitable for the military. Im strong hearted, but i will actually think about that. But if i do go to the military, i could only be a rifleman or something shooting people. It would just suck with all that training and aggresion, and pain, and such. But yeah, i'll think about that though. Thanks for the idea.
 
Well, big change, im just gonna junk the vehicle. Things just got to the point where i cant be patient with the car anymore, as i have to make very tough decisions. Im getting nowhere with what i planned to do with it.
You are all good people, and i greatly appreciate all your help you all gave. And maybe if i get my life set on the right path, and actually get to enjoy life, i will hopefully get a better vehicle. All my life i wanted to have a car i could enjoy, but i messed up. I won't be looking to fix what ever's wrong with it as anyway, i have no money, or possible way to get any, as it seems every job i apply for hates my guts. But anyway i probably wont be on here anymore, unless the next car i get is a Mazda, if i even get a car at all. I bet this is sudden, but everyone has problems. and as an 18 year old, i have many serious ones that affect my life.
Again, thanks for all the help, i did learn a few things, and im grateful. Good bye.
Wanna sell it?

The reason i thought i could get a head gasket Wednsday, is because someone was gonna buy some clothes from me i cant fit. But they up and changed their mind. And yeah, im known for having "excuses" as my dad calls them. No he nor me have a credit card, as im not a supporter of credit cards, and my dad...i dont even know, as he doesnt tell me nothing about him, nor will he ever. But look:
My phone has been off for two months,
My car insurance is due Thursday,
No job can get ahold of me if they even wanted to, as my dad is gone all day everyday.
And you dont live in this area. I live in the worst place of my town(considered the ghetto), and its hard to even start a conversation with someone here. My "excuses" are MY problems i have. Im a fairly shy guy in person. And these problems i stated before you, are only part of the problems in my life. I been through hell and back my whole life with my dad, and i hold s*** in. Hes my dad, and if i get mad and make it personal, it wont end pretty. So i hold it all in. I know it sounds fishy man, but seriously listen to me when i say this, everything im saying is true. I literally cant get a job nowhere.
I have no criminal record, nothing. And i've applied at over 10 jobs within 50 miles of my town. Im in hard times, always have been. Im trying so hard to get the hell out of my dads apartment, and get my own cause im considered a "low life" and all this other s*** because i try all the time to get a job and better myself, theres nothing i can do to make this dude happy or satisfied to have him even call me his boy. I asked everyone i know to help. My own brother won't let me work with him making about 10 an hour. I've been breaking apart internally since i turned 18. Im ignorant in many topics, but i been mature since i entered jr high awhile back. I've had my life threatned, chocked out, cursed at, and swung at by my dad. And this goes way back. I was heavily bullied in elementary school. I was gonna do suicide at the age of 11, i was put on pills and consoling, (which didnt last long, as i never talked to the therapist, and the one time i did, i got punished by my dad when we got home because he told my dad everything i said he does) that never worked because i control my own actions, and pills just dont work for me. I almost slit my throat one day in my room cause it was too much, but at the moment that blade touched my neck, i realized the big picture of growing up, and better myself more than my dad and anyone else. At least thats what i thought. Thats only half of my problems man, im sorry for throwing my life at you like this. But its hard man, it really is, and you needed some lighting on me. I've been a slave to my dad since i was able to talk and walk good enough. I was his puppet. I was more of a object to him than his child. But im the most paitent and real ass man you will ever meet. I have very little friends. Im in depression almost every minute of every ******* day. This is me, i feel you deserve alittle background of where im coming from in this and why im so ify, or what you yourself would call " a man with excuses." i have "excuses" for everything because im a very sharp guy. I pay close attention to details in life, i had to help others with their lives for 18 years, and never had i the time to prepare for my own life. To me my life started when i turned 18. But so far i been in the same damn pit since November. Now i dont know you that well, so im not gonna assume, but everyone has problems, whether similar or not, we all take things differently, and i hold my anger, depression, sadness, and confusion inside and im just a ticking bomb for whoever sets me off in the worst way. So there you go, man. You should understand a bit of me and why i am who i am. Im much more of a talker online than in person cause this is what im used to, is typing. Its a gift that im highly educated in words, reading and focus. But sorry if its too much. I could honestly write a book about my life, thats how.much i go into detail with myself, but yet im never interesting towards the right crowd.
This is the s*** that bothers me, stop the poor me cherade, everybody has issues, man when I was ur age I had already spent years in prison, I've done over 11yrs altogether, I'm 31, I've lived in the "ghetto" my entire life, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, I don't even know of my father's name, my mother is an ex crack head, I've been on my own, and I mean that I took care of myself 100% since I was 14, s*** is hard man, but guess what, the ONLY way ur ever going to change it is by changing it. Look at me, I had to bust my ass for every single thing I have, and I had to do it with 27 felonies on my record, with NO help, but I did it, I drive a P5, it's a car that requires a lot of love to maintain, if u don't know how to do something, learn, don't make excuses, don't put s*** off, just do it. The only person who can change ur situation is u, I have 2 kids, a wife, a home, 2 cars, lots of toys, and guess what, that s*** took time, why are u waiting for jobs to get ahold of u, call them, go there, talk to managers, stop being shy, a closed mouth won't get fed, 10 places, u should be doing 10 places a day, calling them the next day, and once a week after that, u can find a phone, u can rake leaves, wash cars, don't tell me PA is that bad, I lived in Harrisburg, Jim Thorpe, Allentown, and u can keep a car on ur property not registered, they will take the plate, but there are ways to keep ur car to work on it, things take time man, stop looking for the easy fix and get to work, ride a bike, take the bus, stop the pessimistic attitude, most ppl aren't going to feel bad for u, let me ask this, why even put all that info out there, that's ur business, and ur business alone, u gotta be the one to wake up and say I'm not going to allow anything to stop me, ur better than that man, no matter what anyone says, believe in urself and others will too, but u gotta want it man, if u really are done with the car, u really are just going to junk it, I'll buy it for a parts car, I live in CT and have a trailer I can pick it up on the weekend, I'll give h more than a junkyard, but I think u should keep it, it's a fun fast little car with some work, ur decision....

I understand where your coming from. Im a guy that gets pulled into deep depressing thoughts sometimes.
The reason i put part of my life on here is because im the type of man that is willing to give out my life to have people learn from it. I never wanted sympathy from anybody.
I dont want people feeling bad. I just wanted them to understand where i came from, cause some people on here needed to be informed, but it didnt matter anyway, cause they still dont understand, so im not gonna bother with any "story-telling" anymore. But i do love to write.
Now did i get a bit excessive with the writing? Yeah, maybe alittle. But thats just me, i get excessive sometimes.
Now since this overheating with the car happened, transportation been hard to get. The closest place i can apply at is about a mile away.
Can i walk there? Sure. I actually might start walking, as i cant afford a bike right now, nor a bus pass. But im still applying at places to this day. Just not 10 a day.
Luckily for me, i finally got a phone to use to call the job places.
So all i need now is transportation, but if its close, i'll just walk. And with the car, im just gonna hold on to it, cause i know its fun to drive :), also grips like a boss.
I never saw myself loving this car, but i quickly started loving it once i started driving it, even though it doesnt have all of its power properly being used, and two speakers don't work.
And about speakers, im going to be making another thread possibly tomorrow, about how to hook up my subs i have.
I dont want to get into that here. If you can help me out with that, please feel free to look for that thread i start.
But in general, i know im the only one who can make a change in my life, now that i have this phone to use, i feel much much better and motivated to get a job. Starting tomorrow, im going to be going on a job applying spree online and i will be sure to call them, and if i can on some occasions, walk in, depending on where its at. But im strongly hoping i can find a job this upcoming week. Thanks alot for your feedback though. Starting tomorrow, i will do anything i can to get money, legal wise that is.

Yeah, trust me man, crime gets u nowhere lol, as far as hooking up ur subs, how estly I would wait, or s***, sell them and use the money to put in the car, u really don't need a system man, when the car is running and running well, then u can put a system in it, but at the moment they why, if u really want to, I can give u a lengthy tutorial on hooking them up, I do all my own installations, and as long as u have an amp, a deck, and wiring, ur good to go, now, if u need some help, somebody to talk to, learn from, questions to ask, let me know, I was where u are once, and ur the only one who can make a difference, keep ur head up, keep trying, and don't give up, u may be in a bad spot now, but in 10yrs u will look back, and what do u want to say, Dam look at me now, or, I should've listened..... Ur still young, I'd give anything to be 18 and fix my mistakes, try harder, but the clock only runs one way, this is just a small bump in the road.....

I know its gonna be a rough road. Its always going to be at this day in age, i been aware of the difficulty since i turned 15. I just never got prepared.
And those subs. I literally cant sell them, and heres why.
When i needed my sway bar link installed, my mom met this guy that said he would put it on for free. So i took my mom there, and he put it on.
Then he was like " you like systems"
I said yeah but i cant afford them. Eventually he said i can make payments and i put $20 down when he gave me them. Sold me them for $100
They are 2 12" in a ported box with a brand new 900 amp drilled to the top
And i asked him if i could sell them and he said no. I said i could give him the $80 i owe him, and he said he would rather prefer me to give them back. So i just told him i'll hold on to them in that case. And veleive me that was the first thing i thought of, cause i know how much subs go for. Hell, one of the back little windows on my P5 got busted down in Calcutta, cause someone knew i had those subs in my car. I never caught the guy, but i think thats good for their own safety.
