Need to Repair My Trusty Chariot

Hello everyone,

So... The day has come when my trusty vehicle has finnaly broken down and needs a steady amount of repairs. It still drives, but shuts down every 5-10 minutes, is leaking, etc. I've tried doing a lot of work on it myself, but Im no mechanic, and the problems are beyond the extent of my knowledge.

All my friends keep telling me to simply buy a new car, but... The thing is, Im very sentimental. I love my car, I love it so much. I think the main reason is that it was the first real thing that I bought with my own money. Also, all the most memorable adventures happened with her. I just can't let her go.

I never thought I would do something like this, but... Im an university student, I pay for my studies, all the money I get goes out on gas (I drive from home to uni, every day, one and a half hour drive) and food. So, ya... Umm... Any help would be really appreciated. I thank You for Your kindness, in advance.
