If you fail the VI at the shop they'll tell you exactly what you'll need to replace and that would be better than throwing parts at it.
Also, shops wouldn't generally put your car on a lift and do a quick once over unless you're paying for the time.

Aside from the fact that ive been fixing the car to insure its maintained to function properly since day one (theres a story on how I got the car, but i dont want to give this a subjective narrative) I simply dont have time to find a job (i use my car for temporary work) . It has been a long running dilemma. I had a plan and I had a list of maintenance and logically i focused with the safety and top priority jobs first.
lets get back on topic before i lose focus, i know what im doing is a stretch especially when there are too many variables but ive been through times like this. ive put too much time and work into this car and if im going to let it go, i want to do it on my terms. maybe im just bullsh8tting myself, but its all i have right now. Had this been a year or two earlier.. it doesnt matter. it is what it is. I live on my own and i have bills to pay.
ive been misdirected, misinformed and even the alleged offense on the ticket is corrupt as f*ck
throwing parts at it? why are you guys putting words in my mouth.
thats the complete opposite of what i have been doing. just get back to the issue on hand. im sorry if my approach is not proper or any standards. is there anywhere or anyone else i should ask
