I've thought about selling the SVT and buying something more reliable. My tranny needs rebuilt, constantly grinds first, and the check engine light for the precats is on. I can't seem to let go of it, I love the styling and handling, but I could easily see myself in your boat if things get worse. I attend college as well, and it's hard to work on the car when school needs most of your attention. Even harder when you work to pay for everything as well.
