ARGH!

So just in time for Christmas, we're hit with a $900 in car repairs. Well, not just repairs, but tires and repairs.
$99 alignment
$60 balancing
$404 @ $102/tire
$120 @ $30/tire for balancing
$75 new rim
Add in 6% GST and tire tax, and who knows what else and it comes up to a rather sizeable bill.

Maybe we shouldn't buy that Wii we preordered as a Christmas present to ourselves. Maybe this will be our Christmas present...

This SAME thing happened to us last week. $500 for 4 new SUV tires and $250 for new rear brakes and turned drums....argh! Made that bonus check just disappear! Poof! - but at least he is okay in the snow today....wheeeeeeee....

Hugs to you!
