Hello money ... goodbye money
New tires and alignment at Firestone: $650.
New starter, new vacuum hose, car computer tune-up at Ford: $600.
Spayed and vaccinated cat: at least $300.
Chance of going on vacation after today's spending spree: Priceless. (And by "priceless," I mean "absolutely none.")
Paul's car needed a bit of a tune-up today -- okay, I guess that's a bit of an understatement. Hopefully it's purring like a kitten now, because I'm still recovering from sticker shock. Gah.
This week has been so hellish, and I miss having time to write. Like now. There are so many local stories on which I'd like to comment: the boy who fell down the elevator shaft, the local news anchor charged with statutory rape, the special ed teacher arrested for carrying meth to school. ::sighs::
But until I get back to my usual babbling self, check out eyehook's COLORbox game. Paul said it requires too much thought, but once you get the hang of it, it's an addictive little strategy game. I scored over 50,000 last night. How'd you guys do?

Great game!
What kind of tires cost $650? Are they made of gold or something? Usually if you buy tires, they thrown in an alignment for free. I've never paid more than $400 total for tires, and that's replacing all four at once. Yeesh.
buy three tires, get one free - at 95 bux per tire, 65,000 mi warrenty. The lady probably sold me the most expensive tire, but oh well, i just wanted me car.
95 isnt a great deal, but its not totally rip off either. 16 in. rims really does a job on tire cost.
The kicker is the labor fee from ford for reprogramming a powertrain control module - $199
