It turns out we don't need a new car. Our Lumina has nothing wrong with its head gaskets.
At least that's what Snyder's told us.
Our landlord suggested we go to Snyder's to get a second opinion, so we did today.
The guy looked and said the head gaskets are fine. He said there is just a leak in the intake of the coolant, or something like that. He told me he had some kind of pellets to put in there that would seal it up.
Also, the engine had a tick or something that he got rid of by putting something in it that lubricated something. I don't really understand much about cars, but basically instead of paying a bunch of money or just selling the lumina and getting a new car, we got it fixed for less than $100. Hopefully it actually works.
He seemed like a nice, trustworthy guy. And our landlord, who is also a nice, trustworthy guy, is the one who recommended him as the only place he would go around here.
We'll see.

Yay for Maria! Never thought I'd be real excited to see her drivable again, but if your other choice was that light blue station wagon...
