I think my car is dying

Welcome to Brian O'Connell's Spoogaholics!
It started breaking down in Dunnigan, north of Sacramento. I'll need a replacement soon, or at least a van/RV.

Hesitating, backfiring, and a plug missing from the catalytic converter.

Could be an O2 sensor or a blank plug, can't tell, might not even be the right year part, as the last time it was acting up, the dealership replaced it, likely with a pulled part.

didnt you drop quite a lot of cash on it, shouldnt it come with a warranty or something?
It's a used car, cost me 3300, and the dealership was in Kent WA. I seriously doubt it would survive traveling north, let alone my ability to cover gas costs. Also it's out of warranty, as used car dealers usually offer a month or two.
Steve Martin wants me gone, even though all we're doing is taking up space, parked in his yard. So donations are vital. Maybe with luck I can find a local mechanic.

My fellow in misery, a friend I met in Sumner, a nice Ukrainian chap who was also facing homelessness. Considering winter is tackling the Puget Sound, probably saved his life a few times over. Provided we can both get out of this situation.

It might have been from a while ago, if you look at the post on the 9th Neuro mentioned "us" so i guess theyve been together for a while.

Yep, I picked him up in early November. He's helped out with driving and the occasional funds. But his sources ran out.

I've been filling him with American media as well, everything from Back to the Future and history that didn't get to him as a kid.
