Whatever it takes

State motor vehicle saftey inspection + emmissions test: $45.00

New brakes including pads and rotors all the way around, a front-end part & alignment, and misc. maintenance items to pass said inspection: $1,200.00

Being able to put my kids into a car I know is safe and will get us where we are going without breaking down: Priceless.

For most things in life there's a reasonable expense; for everything else, there's a boatload of cash and a good rationalization.
