Had to leave the car at the shop last night, and take my parents car back up here to Pet...The front rotors and pads were shot, as well as the parking brake cable...so now I'm going to be into $1000-$1200 territory with my cars current visit to the shop.
My dad and other people have always found that cars tend to wear out tie-rod ends, and balljoints faster with wider rims and tires. Whether or not it's factual, I don't know. Just seems like things do wear out faster, if only by a small amount.
Have to drive the Pesky Topaz again back down tommorow night...I hate the fact that it's a 93 V6, and it's a lot more powerful than my car at certain speeds...lol...guess that's attributed to it's larger amount of torque...
The MKZ was nice, but I'd rather buy an LS V8 used for half the price...
