Welcome to Gaia! ::

If I were you I'd suggest getting right on that. Matter of fact, call the local parts store and ask how much it'll cost to get an ignition switch. A 1999 Ford Taurus isn't exactly hard to get parts for.

The talk with the gf went well she still hangs with her ex but there is nothing going on between them

Yep and after i fix that car. I can go get my actual car down from four hours away and get a new tie rod in it and four new tires. Yes my car that i had been using was on loan from my family so i feel obligated to fix it

My, my, my, what a mess we have here.

Hygiene isn't a big thing for you, isn't it? Or is standing in the rain considered a bath?

Actually, it's spelled "Drano," with some sort of accent over the "a." I know, weird, right?
I always thought that death by Drano would be an excruciating death. I mean the stuff is so caustic, you'd feel it burning out your insides and you would suffer horrifically in your last moments. I was brought by my own suffering to think a lot about it, lately, and I thought that if I was going to do it, sleeping pills would be the most peaceful, but the real point here is don't do it.
I'd say that car is about the least of your worries (unless you live in the s**t-kicking boonies where things like public transportation (which is way cheaper, after you factor in insurance, gas, and maintenance) and that it borders on the idiotic that most people are so fixated on it, but if things get bad enough, it just might be your only shelter for some amount of time, so indeed it had best be mobile. If you can, of course, crash with a friend, but otherwise do take care of the car.
With the aforementioned logical fallacy coupled with the fact that they are suggesting such drastic action with your girl, I'm starting to think that this just may not be the best place to come for advice. Apparently some read "beginning to suspect" as "caught them ********." As many people suggested throwing her out immediately as did... You know... Talking to her. Not that you should necessarily take her word alone, but throwing her out without discussion would be far, far more foolish.

Nothing wrong with a man having a healthy relationship with his car. It can be a truly romantic thing at times.

By the way, glad to hear that things are going better for you. Hopefully you can get those parts easy enough.

Its that the car died that some of my issues appeared and the girlfriend thing got worse i probably have chladydia thx to her so yep its getting worse

Sucks to hear, dude. Fortunately, it seems antibiotics might treat it, but I'd suggest going to a doctor to get more information on that subject.

And by the way, on the subject of the car, to those who didn't think to pay enough attention to read into the issue properly: yes, it's because his car broke down that some of his issues surfaced (i.e. having to move closer to his workplace and live in a shitty environment with a landlord breathing down his neck), so logically, fixing the car fixes the rest. ******** public transportation; taxi services can be expensive as s**t and buses don't run all the time in some places, so even if a person took the bus to work, there isn't a guarantee that he'd be able to take it from if the bus service ends the day at, say, 4:00. Assuming he works a night shift, of course.
