Well, after breaking the news that I needed to get my waterpump replaced (hence timing belt, crank, and cam seals also), Kristin (fiance) asked me how much I've spent on my car in the past 2 months. Heh. Eh... she likes the SVX a bit, but she also doesn't like it.
Lets see: Wheel bearing: 440
Axles: 160ish
Waterpump, timing belt, seals, labor: 6-700ish.
See, I tried explaining to her that the SVX is actually trying to tell me that it would like to perform absolutely flawlessly on the way to FLorida and back. That's all. She (the SVX) wanted the wheel bearing replaced just to make sure we could have long conversations and stuff, and she wanted the axles replaced to make sure we'd have a safe trip, and she wanted her water pump and stuff replaced to make sure she wouldn't get in a bad mood between here and FLorida.
I think Kristin thinks I'm nuts.
