Time to buy a new car?

Just paid almost 600 bucks to get my car registered & another 3 hundred to the nice mechanic who had the car almost a year now because I'm a flake & didn't save up my money like I should have.
 Drove it home from the shop which is about 6 blocks away, pulled into the driveway & the right front tire area starts smoking like an old lady on oxygen playing the nickel slots in Reno.
 I stood there for about 20 minutes watching it & hoping it did not get worse, holding my cell phone just in case I needed to call the firemen. It finally stopped smoking & now I'm afraid to drive it anywhere.
I just want a new car that will take me places with no worries, I'm not sure mine will even make it to the grocery store now.
Perhaps its about time to look into buying a newer car. I just hate the thought of monthly payments plus full coverage insurance.  If I do that then I wont have any money left to go anywhere in it.
But at least it will run!
