carless again

Usually when the headgaskets go the head cracks shortly thereafter. It's a shame.
Good luck finding a new car!

Normally headgasket leaks are caused by a cracked or warped head. This can be from many issues, to numerous to list, but normally it involves failure of a $.98 part. If the mechanic who worked on it originally has any kind of business ethic, he/she will discount the money paid for work already done and make the correct repair. GM V-6 heads are fairly cheap from junkyards, and they should be able to get a new head and install it for under $1k. (especially if they do as I said, and deduct the cost of the incorrect repair)

Sounds like it's time to park old blue in the yard and plant flowers in it. You sound like you need a new car , old blue just has had it.
