Vote #99

The following question was presented:

I've been told I need a new diff on my car which can run up to $2,500 with parts and labor. Now, I don't think my car's worth that much money and, as far as I can tell, the only impact of the diff going is an annoying whining noise. So what should I do?

Results:

We all know you are a cheapskate so there was only the one answer.

Analysis:

It seems we have a unanimous decision - turn the stereo up! i have to say that this makes the most sense given the current situation. Seems the best thing to do is to keep the car until, literally, the wheels come off. That said, there have been a couple of recent anomalies. On the way back home from work the other day, I pressed the button to wind the window down and the door trim fell off. Whilst driving this weekend, Karen also noted that the driver seat is stuck in one position - I don't think this is a big deal as it's stuck in my position, but I could see how others may find this a bit annoying.
