Wow this really sucks

Ok so I was loosing coolant like crazy for like almost 2 months and then finally white smoke started pouring out. So I said blown headgasket. To try and make this story shorter my dad talked to his mechanic buddys and they all thought it was the intake manifold. Anyways we took it the shop (not the shop I wanted it taken too, I wanted it sent to RPM, but my dad is helping me out so I guess it's up to him) Anyway we get a call the next day and they said my waterpump was leaking, and i guess the oil cooler lines whatever those are called were leaking also. They said those were the only leaks they could find so they were going to fix that stuff today and see if they could find anything else (700 dollers so far). TThey call back and say they took it for a test drive and it ran fine but once it got back to the shop it overheated and said I most likely have a blown headgasket (like i said in the first place). They also say they don't want to do the work and the even told my dad they recommend getting rid of the car because they have so many problems. Then I get another call and he says now my car won't start! He says something about the fuel pump or fuel pump relay may be bad. All I know is this really sucks. I don't see how everything can go wrong all at once really sucks. Expecially since my car only has 60k on it and we knew the previous owners. My mom said I may just have to sell it and get a honda,that'll be fun. Plus I can't even work right now because I don't have a car.
