    I’ve been repairing a 25 year old Golf 4 1.4. Everyone has been telling me it’s not worth it, dad wanted to buy a “new” one at some point (read: newer SH car), my grandma thinks I spend way too much money on it.

    My biggest spend was the 750 euro paint job (bodywork was completely messed up). Besides that it’s been only minor work. I still have a slightly rich running issue to fix.

    Nobody thinks I should be doing this but damnit I am not buying a newer car. It will be just as if not less reliable but cost twice as much to repair stuff on it. No thanks.
