The checkup

I had our SUV undergo a 3k mile checkup, since we are going to NJ at the end of the month. I was expecting the worst with regard to our tires, but to my surprise, they said that the tires are still good for around 6k more miles (wow, and it has gone around 56k miles already...). IT is good news, since expense-wise, this has been a very heavy month for us. I still have to buy 4 new tires for my 92 suby legacy, though. I also just found out that I will need to change the brake rotors up front for the rubasu.... Right now, if I go above 4o mph and hit the brakes, you will feel a strong vibration coming from the brake pedal to the steering wheel. The mechanic said that I shouldn't be worried about it now, but I will eventually have to get that fixed. I just hope that we will be better off in the next couple of months...

Alive and Kicking

It's been awhile since I last wrote something on my blog. I just haven't had the time. Aside from work, I'm trying to spend more time with my two little bundles of kakulitan. No complaints, I love spending time with them.

I just had my junker car undergo state inspection, and I ended up spending so much just to get it passed. That's what I get for buying a 13-year-old car. It's a 92 Subaru Legacy L. It had around 137k miles on it when I got it, but the original owner really took care of it. It's been a year since I got it (and I only drive it to the park & ride, most of the time...), I've only added a little over 2k miles... but I guess age will eventually catch up with it. Next on the list is to buy 4 new tires for it. Even if two of them are still okay, I still have to replace all 4 since it's an AWD car. To make matters worse, I will also need to get new tires for my SUV, since we haven't replaced them since we got it. We've put a little over 55k miles on them. This is turning out to be a VERY expensive month...
