Default So depressed....

So I got my car back yesterday from the shop after paying $150 towing and $200 for getting a new CV joint. Then last night my clutch blew and my car is stuck at my buddies house needing another tow.... I hate my car

to buy a new clutch or with installation and everything? are u gonna get a new flywheel too? Southbend stage 3 clutch is $450, probably around $300-400 for a new light weight flywheel (if u choose to do so) and about 9 hours of labor.

9 hours x $ 85 hr = $765

could cost u anywhere from $1100-$1500 to have someone install a clutch.
