So My Wife's Car has Become Dangerous to Druve

It's developed some form of suspension death wobble that causes the front to push and chatter really bad around corners. Not sure what to do about it.

Do I just keep her in it since it's the most fuel effiecient vehicle we own and she has the longest commute? She drives mostly interstate to work and not many curvy roads.

Do I put her in one of our safer vehicles even though it'll cost me at least $100 more a month in fuel and put miles on my truck I try to keep miles off of since it's the race hauler.

Or do I make some calls and get her car fixed. It's older and I'm thinking the repairs/parts alone will cost more than the car is worth.

Thoughts?

That's supposed to say "drive" in the title. I've been enjoying a few beverages.

 

Make her druve the more fuel efficient one and get a good life insurance policy on her?

 

First find out what's wrong, then go from there, fix could be cheaper then you think or you may be able to fix it yourself. But first you need to know what it is.

 

Compare cost of repair to trade in value and figure out what fits your budget.

I'm huge fan of the old Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla for $2500 to drive to death.



Or the life policy works too

Well, umm.....do you love your wife?

There's been alot of divorce threads around this place these days, wasn't sure if this was some sort of cleverly packaged one?

 

Are you really not sure what your priorities in life are? I'm not sure if this is a troll post or not. Put your wife in a safe vehicle and get a quote on the broken one. If you can't afford the repairs, sit out racing for a while. Why are you even asking this question?

This is disturbing. This and your concern over fuel mileage. Man up and fix the problem. You're being a moron.

 

Yeah, she's young and in good health. Life insurance might be my cheapest option. But if she doesn't die, then I'm stuck with medical bills and hearing her nag about how I didn't let her drive one of our other vehicles for ever.

 

Sounds like you know what needs done......

 

Is it safe to crash?

 

Druve is in the heart.

 

Barked laughing.

 

Here's something really stupid to try: Check and set the tire pressures to the correct inflation.
I would have never believed it but 1986 to 1989 Honda Accords handled downright dangerously if you overinflated the tires. We would get customers who would pump 50-60 PSI into their tires because the radials looked low to them.
I had a car with that complaint and damn near went off the road at the first turn I came to on the test drive. I dropped the pressures down to specs and fixed the issue. Two weeks later I had a "comeback". The customer said it wasn't fixed. I drove it, almost went off the road again and checked the tire pressures. They were set back up to 50 PSI. The customer claimed they didn't do anything to the tires. 'Well the air didn't leak into the tires, Ma'm."

 

Check with your CPA

 

Fucking aZzn wimmen dLivers!!!

 

It would probably help us to know what vehicle she's druving.

 

Spelling mistakes in thread titles druve me up the wall.
Literally, you know?

 

Like, totally.

 

A "The truth about funsizeracing" thread is soon to follow

 

Sorry, I'm too dumb to figure out how to fix the title error. Truth is drunk posting in anger and on meds. She called me out on it and I don't want to admit that I left her in that car (2-door sort compact) because I figure she's capable of handling herself in a wobble/push situation, she mostly drives interstate to and from work, fixing the car is more than the car's value. I know it's not the tire pressure. The woman can tell me when a tire is low that looks just fine and when I check it, sure enough, it'll be 5-7 psi off. I just don't want to spend the money to fix it, or spend the money on fuel for her to drive one of our other vehicles.
