It saddens me to have to say this...but recently, I moved to Minnesota, however a lot of my things did not make it, particularly my beloved Volvo. After trying to drive the vehicle up here, the engine overheated and continuously kept on stalling while I was trying to cross the mountains of Virginia.

It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before, however. The car was jerking and stalling as we were in Virginia, but once we went downhill and were back in North Carolina, the car ran like there was no problem at all. I'm guessing an electrical part is at fault here, but exactly which one it is, I have no idea.

On the other hand...I have ultimately decided to sell my car. In it's place, I'll be buying a Yamaha Vino 125. Here's a pic:

Also, during the winter, I'll be relying on the city buses to get me where I want to go.

In the end, it was better for me to sell the car than to bring it up here. Duluth is a hilly city, and seeing as how it reacted to the mountains in Virginia, I am afraid it would be incapable of driving up some of the mean streets up here. Not to mention, in the winter, the roads are slathered with salt brine, which I know will turn my car into a rust bucket. Also, insurance and the high price of gas are sure to drain me of the money I make working.

If anyone is in the Central North Carolina area and you're interested in buying my car, send me a PM and I'll give you all the info.

Thanks!

Damn, that sucks. It is a wrench to give up a car and trade it for something else. Especially when it is a car that you have already put money into. Good luck on your trade.
