That seems like a lot of hassle if you're then going to buy a new car anyway.

He was making fun of a light grammatical error in your post.

You said 'I'd rather rebuild the engine then buy a new car'

What you meant was 'I'd rather rebuild the engine than buy a new car.'

"Then" means that you will be doing something subsequently. "Than" means that you will be doing something instead of something else. Normally this is a grammatical nitpick, but it actually changes the meaning of your sentence by using the wrong word.

Good that you have an older Civic. The newer ones are lemons - Honda cheaped out on the air condenser from 2017-2021, so no AC! The electrical shit in the dash is all kinds of fucked up too.

Like, I feel so fucked over. I wanted a Civic because they’re usually reliable, and I got a shitbox that gets so hot during the summer that my phone shuts off.

Really sucked, because Doordash/Uber for cash would be really helpful.

I drove 80's and pre 92' VW's up until 2019 and now I'm exclusively driving pre 04 VW's . They are futuristic to me , heated sats , heat , AC its crazy .

I've amassed enough maintenance parts and transmissions to keep me going indefinitely..or until some jackass makes them illegal then I guess I'll just ride a bike
