Cars are evil

[winter_elf]

And especially evil when they know you've been BAD at the SGA auction.

Mine needed its annual tune-up and this year the smog test for DMV registration due next month. Guess what - it not only needed a FULL tune-up with all fluids changed but also =FOUR= new tires. *ARGH!!!!*

The only good thing is it passed the smog easily with no new smog parts needed. *sigh*

Hey, a tune up and 4 tires is not bad, actually. I was expecting worse. Glad it passed smog.

yea, to the tune of $700 *ouch*

my last tune up, last year, was $200ish and was a "mini" tune. I guess I was really going to get it socked to me this time around.

You knew it was coming.

I know, but I can whimper about it!

Oh, the car's fine. Mine actually does really well. It just wants its yearly tune up, and then its cool for a year. But that tune up.. well.. it's never cheap.

Egad, I hate that! I dropped $400 last month on the car and almost started crying when the check engine light came on again recently.

Tires are the worst because you almost always need the entire set. I'm hoping to squeak by this winter with the ones I currently have...
