My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

And maybe read some of the posts here

New to Gem: Bought 2002 E825 for hilly area

LOL, please DON’T rub it in. My 2002 rides like a tank, can hardly do a U-turn on an empty street. If I had a crystal ball in 2017 I would not have paid $3,000 for it, not installed $700 disc brakes, not put new Pb batteries in it, not upgraded the headlights, not put Leaf Gen4 lithium batteries in it, etc etc and I would have purchased a used 2013 Nissan Leaf with worn batteries and only 50 mile range for $5,000. But I didn’t and now there’s no way I’ll get my $$ out of the GEM and can’t get …

Then, fix it like you would a Fiat… 2 gallons of gas and a match…

Then go buy something newer.

You’ll thank me later
