I have a rockin’ little 92 Nissan NX which I adore. I’m a die hard motorcyclist, but I had to buy a car when I broke my leg a few years ago. I was intending to keep it only through my recovery, but it ended up being nice to have a little car around to run errands with and whatnot. But I never intended to keep it so I never really bothered with maintenance.

Since I decided to keep it, it was time to put some money into it. A $400ish CV Joint/Axle replacement job turned into about $1900 after they told me all the struts wanted replacing. They are all original, and the car has 68k, so it was time… but MAN I wasn’t expecting that little surprise.

I sure hope my ESPP does well next quarter!
