Who knew tires wore out in less than 50 thousand miles? Surely not a single, naive school teacher, whose been driving her 2001 Mitsibushi Galant for less than 3 years now. I mean really, why can't vehicles just take care of themselves?
Car repair is a pain in my butt! Everytime I have to deal with male mechanics I want to smash a brick through the window of their squeaky clean waiting rooms. As an unmaried twenty five year old, I feel as if I am a target for being abused and taken advantage of by the slimy auto repair industry.
First they tell you the wheels are out of alignment. Next it's your belts and hoses needing replaced. Before the ordeal is all said and done you owe them almost half your months pay check. Of course, your too afraid NOT to take there advice, because if their right, you'll be stranded on the side of the highway in the middle of BFE. What's a girl to do?
Venting helps, but my checking account is still depleted, and I continue to dispise the dude with grease under his fingernails. Maybe I need a little perspective?
