Took my car in today for a state inspection. Seemed like a simple task, as the car is fairly new and in good running order. Seems the mystery under the hood of the car thought differently.
Needed an oil change, which is ok as it has been a few thousand miles. However, it needed a new air filter and oil filter to go along with the new oil. Hmmm. Ok, what is, is.
Well guess what, the front brakes need new pads. Hmmmm again, but ok, dont want the brakes to go bad. Ohhhhhh, guess what, rear breaks need new rotors. Hmmmm, not sure what that is, but sounds important, so ok.
Ohhhh, tires are getting a little old and need to be replaced. Ok, that is enough. PT Barnum said a fool was born every minute and I think my minute is up.
$300 later, I left with my car running smooth and the old tires still on the car. Guess I showed them not to fool with me. I know, I probably just spent $250 I didnt need to spend, but by God, I didnt buy the tires. Man has to have some pride left.
Just Say'n
