I finally got my car fixed over the weekend. It just needed a tune up and some other stuff, but I had been waiting since it would cost so much for any shop to fix it. But then I remembered that my friend's brother is a mechanic but doesn't have a job right now - so he's cheaper than some shop but still knows what he's doing.
He lives about 1/2 away from me on a farm in the middle of nowhere. So when we went there of course we brought some beers and stayed a while, to make the trip worth the drive.
It came out to $400 (sob) but it was cheaper than I could have gotten anywhere else I'm pretty sure. And now it runs soooo nicely! No more merging onto the highway at 60km/h! YAY!!
