So just got a beater for $500 today,and already ran into some technical issues. </3

Had to get a jump start because i was an idiot and forgot to turn off headlights.

Any of you ever have to get your car jump start every once in a while or anything?
I'm thinking of investing in a battery charger in case the car dies.

But what can i say, for $500 and this thing still runs pretty well for it's age and mileage.

Dealing with any technical issues?

It depends on what type of car. Timing belts are always a pain in the ass though.

If you are changing the timing belt, change the water pump while you are down there. No sense in taking off the timing belt again to get to the water pump when you need to change it.
