Update on the car situation. Not good. Gotta spend about 3k to just get diagnostics done. Initial quotes for repairs (assuming what we think is wrong with it is wrong) 20k. And that’s parts alone. So yeah, facing the very real prospect of selling it for parts and writing off a 17k asset for like maybe a grand or 2.

    There's always the prospect of the car getting stolen and disappeared. Just be sure to have all GPS units and such in proper working order, just in case of course.

    No joke, I fired up the vpn the other day to google how one might go about that. Mostly out of curiosity. But even if I parked it at Dandenong station with the key in it I can’t garantee someone can steal if since it may not run long enough to be stolen.
