2006 had one last lesson for me.
A few weeks ago I posted a whiney story about how my car has crushed my home improvement aspirations by needing new struts. Very expensive new struts.
Well, I bought those new struts and went upon my merry way. Visions of new mail boxes, a plumber installing my salvaged bathroom sink, buying tiles for my bathroom, and a vintage stove once again began dancing through my head.
Meanwhile, my car laid quietly in wait. Plotting to teach me a lesson on perspective. Hell hath no fury like a car scorned on a Blog.
Turns out new struts are not nearly as expensive as new struts AND a new exhaust system.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a Toyota quietly laughing. Lesson learned.

Hey Stuccohouse...Bimmers laugh hard at you when the struts go bad too! Too bad I don't have a spring compressor cuz the shop wants $500 to install & I already have the parts! ggrrrrrrr. That's putting a big hold on my plumming repair!
(just feelin' your pain my friend!)
