I'll admit that I'm not very good at determining that sort of thing at all so if any professionals or well seasoned players could provide input I'd be grateful! My money says its a high 3.
Major Edit: I spoke to a friend and they're helping me out. Thank you everyone for your positive feedback and advice. God bless my friend Sam.
Hello everyone. About a year ago I bought a 2009 Nissan Versa super cheap off a lot with the intent of having low monthly payments and being able to pay it off in a year. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not having it inspected first. I made the horrendous mistake of not getting it inspected first. A few months in I took it to Meineke for an oil change and they listed nearly 6k worth of work that needed to done, not including stuff that wouldn't fail state inspection.
I took it back to the dealership but it'd been long enough that I couldn't take legal action or get something else, and my credit is bad enough that getting another car wasn't an option. They did the state inspection work for 2.5k, which my best friend was able to cover for me (I still owe them). I've done what I can to get the most recent issues covered, including replacing the Struts in a previous post. I thought I was in the clear, but now I'm faced with new issues.
The primary ones that will render the car unusable in time are failing CV Joints (particularly the right side one). The mechanic told me I could drive on them for a while but I'm hearing the telltale clicking, so I know I don't have much time left on that. There's also my rusting transmission pan which is seeping transmission fluid, lord knows how long I'll still have fluid. The CV joints are quoted at 800 to replace both, 450 to replace one. The transmission pan WAS 300, but after learning there's apparently no aftermarket transmission pan for my model, it went up to 430.
The financial weight of the car has simply been too much. I cannot pay for these out of pocket and my tanked credit score means I've been denied every loan and credit card I've applied for. I live miles away from any town or city so my bike/the bus isn't an option.
I was praying it would hold out until the car was paid off in July, because that extra 200 bucks a month would make taking care of these much easier, but that's infeasible.
I can provide quotes, proof that I'm working, proof that I only have two payments on the car left- whatever may need to know that I'm not fleecing them.
I don't know how much to ask for because saying $1200 sounds... bad. But that's my situation. Me and my mechanic are location in Seven Valleys PA. The CV joints, before buying my own, would be around 800. And the transmission pan replacement 430.
I'm almost 20 turns into his campaign after deciding to take the slow route to 8 Peaks, taking out the dwarves and securing their province so I could have a decent army or three to assault the peaks. I feel like I should have a better army than a Clanrat stack followed by a Warlock lords Slave stack to fight their standing army, though. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Are there any particular color combos that you go against that consistently annoy you? Nearly every Rakdos deck I've played against has made the game unfun in some way. Making me discard my hand, randomizing the board, recycling board wipes, general chaos play styles.
I'm not saying that's every single Rakdos player or strategy, just that it's what I've encountered the most with the combo.
