Not how I wanted to stimulate the economy...

Well...

So much for that huge tax return. If I'd brought the car in just a little bit earlier, I wouldn't be blowing it all on the brake job.

I will *not* be getting the rim job as my rim is some sort of space-age alloy that is very expensive, but also bend-y.

Wow.
You turned down a rim job.
My mind has just imploded.

[bluegargantua]

Yeah, and I really wanted to get my tires rotated too. But the prices for a rim job have just skyrocketed since the last time I got one.

I'm with you.

I can't believe he just said that.

(Wait. yes I can.)

[z-gryphon.livejournal.com]

I dunno, it sounds like you're getting the rim job anyway.

[bluegargantua]

My understanding is that a rim job should be gentle and loving. This is more of a ream job.

Still, better brakes than no breaks.

"Still, better brakes than no breaks"

i don't know..... trees, buildings, mailboxes, pedestrians, etc all help in stopping a moving vehicle if you hit them the right way.

Bumping into something is probably why my rim is bent in the first place.

Yeah, but I make the fantasies of big girls come very, very true.

This is the week for it. I put my car in for a simple oil change and to have them look at what I felt was a slight wobble at low speed. Probably an alignment or something, right?

No, it's BOTH cv joints and by the way it's probably more efficient just to replace both axles. North of $1k 'efficient' yeah baby.

Ream job indeed.
