cars.... ugh!

I hate spending money on keeping cars up... i like nice cars just not the maintanence. I just had to spend 250 bucks for my 30k tune up!! Then J decides that he needs to find out more about his car, see he bought a very high performance car from a friend who passed away. We knew that he put modifications into it but that's about it. So today, J took it to a place that specialized in that particular type of car. They bascially laughed in our faces when they saw what was done to the engine. I guess the guy we bought it from didnt really know what he was doing either.

Basically, the things he has on it now is not helping the car, it is hurting it. That's why J's engine light was always on. So, we are putting over 1500 dollars worth of work into it to make it where it should be. I am very frustrated by the fact that we have to do this, but i would rather put the money into it than have the car blow up. Than there's the issue of.. should we trust this place?? I guess J found them on this website for this particular car, and they are very well known. He was talking to lots of guys hanging out there that said they drive over 2 hours to come to this place, so they must be good. They seemed to know what their doing.

So.. i guess it's a setback. J does put in alot of overtime and if this is what he wants to spend it on, who am i to stop him. He doesnt have any other expensive habits. I'd rather do this kind of stuff before we have children to support, so i guess it's the perfect time to do it.

Well, it's a beautiful day outside, however i have housework to do, as well as some erronds to run.
