You need to have more faith in yourself, sly. It sounds hard to do, but things will get better.
Don't worry about women for now, you have more important priorities. Fix that car, do whatever you can to improve your financial situation, work on your social skills and you may be lucky.

Probably just going to have to save for new to me car. There's no way for them to diagnose my car without them driving it daily, shops don't do that.

Social skills?

You can still drive your car? Then why buy a new one?

Because it keeps breaking down. When it gets to the point where it stalls on the road, it's time (if one can afford it) to get a new car.

I seem to recall Sly taking some sort of auto mechanics course. Maybe he could fix it on his own?

YouTube is a good place to find videos on how to fix one's car.

Yeah, I just had a problem with my old Toyota truck a few weeks ago. I thought the clutch went out, which is a major job, especially when you consider the fact that I can't stand to have grease on my hands. I did notice that the clutch didn't slip, just that it wouldn't engage.
So I went on Youtube and found out that it was only the hydraulic clutch system, and it only ended up costing me $60 and 2 hours time.

Getting so tired of trying when there's no hope or future for me.

Why be a quitter?
So many things have gone bad in my life. I have lost the love of my life, I get my throat cut by people who work illegally, and the government throws cinder blocks and broken glass in my path every time I try to improve myself.
BUT I WILL NOT QUIT. This only allows the people and institutions that have done these things to me to win, and I will not let them win!
