Sick trolling People should be disemboweled, quartered, and fed to piranhas in public along with 5 generations of family members for destroying our tranquility.
My thinking was, If it's over a grand please let it be under 2 grand. I need it for my job so i'm ok with under 2 grand. Not happy, but ok.
Got a call from the garage...appraisal is close to a grand. Emergency brake locked and cooked the pads. But the car didn't feel sluggish and only made noises occasionally. So i probably ran it for 2 1/2 hrs after i first heard the noise. Oh well. It is what it is. Now i need a stiff one.
Half the back pocket budget. Hope your mechanic isn't reading the forum!

It's my work car that is at the garage. Been making funny noises since yesterday. Hopefully they get a look at it this coming week. In the meantime...vacation. Forced vacation. Been under the weather for over two weeks, so can't complain.
Oh, man. Two days ago, one of my pro bono freelance gigs handed me two Benjamins because it's coming into the holidays and I work for free but they take care of me a little. Yesterday JFW had a flat tire and I had to buy two new tires so on the bright side, I'm only down net $75.

Why does the car always break down when we come into a little extra money?

I'm not worried about that. They're a good bunch of guys. I could tell by the tone of his voice when he gave me the quote that he felt bad.
