For dirtier or cheaper

So...

The joys of the over-worked and underpaid have returned. My car has taken a poop again, the alternator pushing too much juice and overcharging the battery. New alternator, new volt regulator, and new fluids. Car, what is wrong with you?

I wanted to sell it, but such a classic that is easy to work on should not be traded in for a newer better gas mileage car that will cost me out the butt in repairs through mechanics. So, I kind of want to get a motorcycle instead. I've started reading the manual and I already picked out the helmet I want and the jacket I'd need, but I have yet to fall in love with a particular bike. I think I'm holding off on that love cause I would like to afford my insurance and me starting school in a few months and loosing most of my hours at work will REALLY kill my income.

So... I'm preparing to be poorer than rich soil- not quite as bad as dirt.
