<prompt> Human: My friend Greg 25M moved to Miami a couple of years ago and has not really been able to get anything stable going. He has a job, but his car just crapped out on him so he is having to use public transport to get to and from work. The car is an old Volkswagen that he paid 3500 for. The shop told him that repairing the car would cost 2100 to get the transmission fixed and he plans on doing it. He has already had to invest 2000 into it previously when he hit a manhole cover and busted the engine. I have tried to tell him that he needs to stop throwing money at a car that should have already been totaled, but he wont listen. He has also been driving without insurance because he says that he cannot afford it, and defends that action even though I have told him that he would not be in this mess if he had had insurance. He says that the registration fee for his car was too much to pay at the time so he never did, and that is why he does not have insurance. He is very stubborn about that part, but I think he just does not fully understand the implications of driving without insurance.I was wondering what your opinion is on the whole car thing. Also, is there any sort of programs in Florida that might be able to help him out? He has no kids, and no helpful family members. He is African American if that helps anything. I hate seeing him struggle and want to give him some good financial advice!Thanks so much for any help!  <response>: He has also been driving without insurance because he says that he cannot afford it, and defends that action even though I have told him that he would not be in this mess if he had had insurance.
