    Trying to think of how to phrase this...

    I don't know that you'll get much traction with asking for this kind of help. If you were out of work, or there was a family injury or the like, you know this forum would jump in to help. We have.

    Reading the above, though, it sounds more like you're weighing your wants. In your earlier Dart thread...

    If you want the family more, then that may mean giving up the loaded Dart to drive yesterday's Neon or the like.

    Please do stick around. We're car guys, regardless of the car. But if you don't get anything chipped in toward the Dart... please don't take it personally.

    Lol, Eid was much more tactful than I would have been...

    Though if anyone's actually in the mood, I need a new clutch, but feeding my kids is getting in the way. Anyone spare a dollar?

    Best of luck but I don't think asking for handouts is going to help you. Like stated but in a nicer way, you should maybe have sold the G8 got an older beater and had no car payment and basic liability insurance. That would free up quite a few hundred dollars a month. It seems you made some financial mistake and thought outside your means, hey we've all been there, but now is time to man up and rectify it yourself and put your family first.

    I left this open. I don't have any mod money to share. My oldest daughter decided she wanted to get her degree. She asked for money for books......and like an idiot I said yea before my brain engaged.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    If money is tight, you can save a butload of cash by taking your lunch to work instead of eating out, Save an easy 50 bucks a week If you can take a couple hours out of your week to donate Plasma, you could earn up to 300 bucks a month. If you can get Mama to help out, that should cover a car payment.
