It kills me to think about what that brake line cost you. My Focus started acting up ... spark plugs ... 20 bucks. Wheel bearing started making noise ... $67 ... to be installed tomorrow by this guy ... I'm hoping for ~ $50 with a freon charge.
The bearing is a pain because you need pullers to get the drum off.
I think I would enjoy seeing downtown TO again. It's been a long time and now that time has passed I only recall the most excellent parts. I try not to think about that too much though as I'm still paying for those mistakes.
