Well, shit.

The estimates have all fallen between the 1300 and 1500 range.
That's a shitload of money, but it looks like that's how much is being spent.
Luckily, I'm being helped out by the actual owner of the car, my dad.
But a good chunk is still coming out of my pocket.
But at least then, the car will run for another 50,000 to 70,000 miles, which is nothing to scoff at.
