$3615 for auto repair.  Rear wheel bearings, brakes, rotors and emergency brake assembly, and a new third member. 

I figure I'm into this vehicle about $18k since I bought it 12 years ago.  That includes the $7500 cash purchase price, used, and a few sets of tires.  That purchase price included a $3800 insurance settlement from my previous Explorer, which was itself $100 more than I paid for the previous vehicle, which I owned for five years. So...call it $14.2k and some over 12 years. Say it's cost me $100 a month, excluding fuel and insurance. 

As painful as a $3615 repair bill is days before Christmas, I'm still solidly money ahead.

Speaking of finances, paid my property tax for the year today....$2,700.  It's good not being in NJ!

Lucky you.  Here in the People's Republic of Soviet Washington, my tax bill for the year was nearly five grand, for a 2700 square foot house on a third-acre lot.

In NJ I paid over 13K for about the same as you.

So you need a little help?

The second one was one of my 2.

Well, your priorities are right, anyway.  All of the ones I knew were men.

And to be honest, I only learned her name this morning when Star Trek posted a happy birthday to her. She was on the last season of DS9.

Think I'm at about $3700 for the year, and I've got 1600 sq feet.

Was gonna go with a Tuesday Gravy as well, but couldn't find them, so went with a Teufel Hund instead.

That's less than what I pay quarterly.

Used to be for me too.

Not bad. A little stronger than I would've imagined. Draw is a bit loose, though.

At some point, we have to ask ourselves, "for what?"

Last night, I finished binge-watching "The Recruit" on Netflix.  It wasn't as good as "The Spy," but it was still damned entertaining.
