well people may remember my post about my wheel bearing... i tried to fix it, and couldnt. kept on making plans with people to come over and c hange it, and we'd get 6" of snow the night before.... finally i had it towed to my stepfathers house (he has a full garage there).... $88 for 30 miles with AAA, not bad.... so it wasnt jus the wheel bearing, it was that, the spindle was bent and it needed a new CV something (boot or joint, i dont remember, im not the most mechanically inclined). he estimated $200 - $300... looking my car over he said with nearly 160k miles, it should really have its belts changed since they have never been done. so i told him to throw that on my tab. so front wheel fixed, and all belts including the timing belt got done for $500, so $588 total to fix my car.... im happy as hell to get it back, but that really pushes my paintjob that i was hoping to get soon back >frown.gif>
