Heh, thought we discussed my pending doom at the BBQ :P
My front rotors warped pretty bad, apparently. Stockfish says the pads are pristine, still... so they don't need to be replaced. I had the choice of the cheapo rotors or the OEM replacements, went with the OEMs till I decide on a brake upgrade course of action.
Fuel filter - that's common sense.
Steering stabilizers - I remember what Oscar's car felt like before his dealer did his replacements. I am NOT going there.
Recommended service, inspection and oil change - the price seemed steep but had I not done it they would not have found the possible problem with the steering stabilizers.
The car's been very good to me, and if warped rotors are the only headache so far - I can live with that. As for the steering parts, that's wear and tear. Such is life.
It's making a dent in the housing fund, but we should be able to make most of it back up tomorrow. So, we're a paycheque behind where we wanted to be... not the end of the world by far.
