I'm in the same boat, plus my car is high mileage, so I'm putting minimal amount of money into it and drive it until something major fails.
Fortunately, I moved down South, so I can buy a low-rust car down here.
Yeah that's basically what I plan to do now. I'm going to use that chassis saver stuff to try and get the most out of the car that I can. In the mean time I'm starting to save and look around for my next car; I'm thinking LS-1 firebird.
