That royally sucks.

I know, because we're in the ame boat. Just spent $2000+ on getting our Jeep a new radiator, water pump and several other things because it was running hot and there was a crack somewhere. Four weeks later, problem while my wife was driving it, out of town. In to a really good mechanic we know in Seattle. Another $800... including the fact that the replacement belt from the original fix hadn't been put on entirely right. WTF? But it worked... three weeks later, it's overheating again... "Yeah, your head has a crack in it... that'll be $3,500 to fix."

Damn straight, "my head has a crack in it."

So now it gets to be a driveway ornament until we can scrape together enough to get it fixed again... which is no time soon, given how life is unfolding. Fortunately we know a really good mechanic from one of the local shops who's currently moonlighting so he can make his child support payments... I think we're 3rd in line for a fix, maybe in September.

Anyone who claims cars (other than rare collectible ones) are an investment need their heads examined...

Positive attitude? Well... at least my coffee was really good, this morning! 🤣
