Boy howdy is my car costing me money these days.  There is a bunch of stuff I have been putting off with regards to my car and now it’s all coming to bite me in the ass at the same time.  I just got the right tie rod fixed on the car yesterday, which is something that’s needed to be done for quite awhile.  It was diagnosed back in July, but given I don’t drive my car a tonne, I just pushed it off.  Since I had surgery in the summer I have only driven my car about 6000 kms in 6 months.  My car basically gets me to and from work and does some other local driving.  Since I got the tie rod fixed, I need to get an alignment done, so I might as well get the new tires I need installed at the same time.  I also had planned on getting my brakes done in the spring, but my mechanic deemed I didn’t need one immediately, so I held off.  So odds are I’m going to need one sometime in the near future.  Cars are such a bitch.  I’m definitely leasing the next car I get, just so everything is covered under warranty.
