Ow. Just, ow.

So, I finally took my VW in for some long-overdue dealer maintenance. Nearly four hours and nearly $850 later... I sure hope it's in improved condition. Ow.

Around half of that was replacing all the tires, though. Apparently I was a few millimeters away from pulling a Phil on the highway. So I'll count that as worthwhile. The rest was mostly your standard 67,000-miles-and-haven't-had-serious-maintenance-in-years stuff... oil, filters, hoses, brake pads, lord knows. And I indulged in three new wiper blades since my 6-year-old ones have been royally sucking for a year or two now.

But no, I didn't get my A/C fixed. That'd be about another $800 with new parts.

In other news, though, wy weekend-O-renfaire was much more pleasant. Went with my sister-in-law and her ex on Saturday and Britt, Mo, Nolan, and Chris on Sunday. Much fun was had. And we had yummy yummy food from Britt (mmm, enchiladas and also mmm Bruschetta from Molan), and fun with pumpkins. And I've realized I left my carved pumpkin there... oops. Oh well, at least i've got a picture (not uploaded yet).

Nice LJ header graphic today...

car, friends, travel
