I told you it was going to be an expensive month.

I hope the payment of a freelance gig I did comes in soon.

I got my car inspected today ($15) and a vibration problem checked out ($25). The only thing keeping it from passing is two of the tires, but the other two are pretty close to failing as well. That's not a surprise.

So... I'll need four new tires (~$68 each). The vibration issue is due to the front wheel bearings going bad. I was hoping it was a tire out of balance but I knew it could be a bearing issue. (2x$60 and 2x$20 in parts). It's a labor intensive process to switch out the bearing assemblies.

Due to the wear on the tires, they're recommending a four tire alignment.

All in all the estimate is over $900.

The good news is that I have another freelance gig that's been given the go ahead will cover the costs of car repair.
