I spent six hunnert bucks on my car today.
It's been leaking power steering fluid, so I took it in and let 'em give it a look. Turns out the power steering gear box was wasted and needed replaced. I told 'em to make it so.

My brake pedal has been bottoming out lately, so I also told 'em to find the cause of that problem and fix it. Turns out an adjustment whazzit was sticking and had to be replaced. Only ninety bucks for that.

Finally, I told 'em to gimme an oil change while they had it on the rack. Gotta protect those precious bodily fluids!

Good thing I had the bucks. But now I'm broke again.

At least my car works again! A pity I can't afford to fill it up with gas... :cry:

1. Maybe you should have had them install some pedals!
So you could pedal it?

OH, heck...

That sure won't work if your foot really is broken!

:rofl:

2. I spent over $600 for my car a couple of months ago.
$300 for an alternator and then $324 for a set of tires.

4. Just spent almost $300
brakes, emissions, and oil change. The pads were down to 3mm--I was a little overdue. But the car is in good order again! :thumbsup:
