re: #192 William Barnett-Lewis

Yeouch. Just got the news that changing the tires & spark plugs on our 2002 Prius is going to set us back just shy of $900! $120 per tire & Iridium spark plugs are expensive. OTOH, this is the first time in nearly 11 years we had to replace the plugs, so that’s not that bad. Plus 45+ mpg makes up for it these days. Just had to creeb about it a bit.

Whaaaaaa………… Cry me a river.

Try having the following done on a 1991 Civic DX.

A. Radiator replaced, JB weld didn’t quite patch the leak.
B. Exhaust system from the catalytic converter back replaced.
C. Valve job.
D. Clutch.

Total Cost? about $2,858

But then again.

A. The Wife loves the car and
B. It does get 40 MPG

You got off lucky.

My 401K? Not so well.
