It had a history of breaking down.
I spent more in repairs than gas before I replaced the head gasket.

Selling the car and getting another old one is quite the gamble, and I certainly do not feel like selling it after spending almost the value of the car in getting the engine fixed by a shop.
It would just be nice if it was like my jeep; (almost problem free).
About the head gasket: I think the only way I can diagnose it is to drain the coolant again to see if my new coolant got cloudy. There are no leakage spots underneath the engine where the headgasket is. I'm not sure how else to diagnose the problem.
