It never seems to fail

Took my truck in yesterday for that $60. Front end alignment ...
Turned into a $500. front end rebuild

Well I guess I cant complain too much, It's a 98' 220K miles on it,
Good truck ... Treats me well
And Mechanic is a local guy I trust.

$500 every once in a while is a pain I know but monthly car payments are much more painful IMHO.

I hope she runs another 220 with only oil changes Jeff!

Yep.Par for the course.

I took the boys Mercury in because it was cutting off.
944 dollars later and it's still cutting off...

Yep, No payments is a good thing ...We have two trucks both paid for

Mines a 98' Dodge 3500 ... Two years ago I had to have a $3500. injector pump put in ...I just kept sayin' No payments ...Noooo payments.
Hey Al ... Lets go have that drink now

This is why I have not gotten my car inspected. I already know of $150 part that it needs and I don't want to know about the other stuff it probably needs.
