Ouch.

That’s the brakes (no pun intended) when you’re driving a 2006 Toyota because you’re busy stacking sats instead of making car payments.

Dammm thats alot!

Better than being broke down on the side of the road because you didn’t take care of your whip

Vehicle maintenance is mandatory. I want to keep this car until after the next halving.

Absolutely

Living like you're poor and being rich is good for your stress levels.

Well I’ve got the first part down!

I went and they won't give me a sticker because I have moisture in my taillights. I'm sure a ticket for not having an inspection sticker is less than replacing the whole back half of my vehicles lighting system.

Fuck that.

Come to HUNTS Point.

$30 bucks papa.

Did you check Rock Auto?

Yeah, $40 fine in my state. Sounds fair.

$1500 just to buy the two taillights and back taillight bar off ebay. Nevermind the labor.. I'll pass.

That sounds super expensive Dan or is it cheap?

It’s pretty much what I’d expect for this type of repair. And they always give you a discount for paying cash.

They should give extra discount for #Bitcoin

One day.

Oh rite that still alot of fiat to be handing out for a check up some garages you bring your car into for a check like you done 60% of the time they'll tell you something else is up with nothing wrong at all bro

I’m just a bit peeved that the last place I brought it to for an oil change didn’t find it. But I saw it up on the lift this morning and it’s not something I’d feel safe driving on, and can’t pass inspection without it anyway.

What was wrong?

Inflation is so bad, some shops are charging $140/ hour for jobs.

Steering assembly was in bad condition.

Oh yes.... going high speeds(matter of fact going anywhere) is not recommended with a faulty steering set-up

Ugh. That sucks brother. How often do you drive in NYC?

Me, rarely. nostr:npub17meshv2lg6rfyuwzgh349yslllq7aathd55xu0jgjns2ayz6rt2seplm8u commutes to the suburbs for work and I can’t have her driving in an unsafe vehicle.

$1500.. so far! 😁

Your life is worth more than $1500

Not the kind of “surprise” anyone needs 😣

Better than finding out the hard way.
