    on the way to work it sounded like I ran over a rock. Driving down the freeway the car starts swerving and shifting between lanes. Get across and look at my tire, it blew out. Luckily the tire store was 2 blocks away. I had to get a new tire, luckily only one as my car is all wheel drive and my tires were new enough so they didn't have much wear on them. After they paid for half, I only had to spend another $65 bucks :( Who knows what the fuck I ran over :mad:

    Dam I would have done it for nothing. That place you went to IMO ripped you off.

    Don't let them get too close and start man handling your tailpipe ;)
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Haha. This is so true, well not quite, but almost. We've been really lucky to know good and honest mechanics over the years. One we had was a client, one a tenant in the building I worked in and since we moved to a smaller town we've actually found quite a few good ones. Big cities are not good for honest mechanics. Or they are always too busy and overbooked. :)

    I go to a great place and they always joke with me about all the PJ stickers on my car. hehehe :)

    They do great and honest work. I wish others could have that when having their car fixed.

    Actually this is a really good mechanic that I trust. It would've been twice as much at the dealership. I just have an expensive car to repair in general.

    I feel your pain:)
    Just spent $900 to repair a car then the hubby goes and hydroplanes and hits a tree, basically destroying everything we had done! now we have to cover the $500 deductible. yes, yes i'm thankful he's ok, thought it still hurts the wallet especially so close to christmas. My husband said he thinks he actually heard the money being flushed down the drain when he hit the tree;)
