it's time to talk about cars...
We all need the car today.
Almost compulsorily ... to travel, to go to work, to go shopping or simply move from one part of the city to another. An object that has taken part of our life and economy.
Surely there are various types of cars: sedans, station wagons, coupes, convertibles, SUVs, multivans.
They range from the least expensive to real economic follies.
New, used or historical.
Surely anyone can find the perfect model for him or her.
But in addition to this I want to talk about the economic part that requires a machine as maintenance ....
Today I went to a mechanic for a brake problem ...
He told me that maybe it is the brake pump or brake servo ... cost of repair € 600 ...
I only say that my car costs € 1000 :))
Then not to mention ordinary maintenance ...
- An oil change and filters € 300-450 (in specialized workshop).
- Soon I'll have to change the tires again ... another € 300
- My car had a bit of KM (291000) I had to do the distribution ...
from the mechanic 650-750 €, made by me 200 € ... (3 days of work between various tests)
A year ago, coming back from a long journey, about 400km, I burned the turbine ...
Really annoying O_o, because the car had no more power ... 700-800 € ..
I did not want to throw away that money and I tried other mechanics ... in the end I threw away € 300 in the diagnosis ... at that point I was angry and I disassembled the turbine trying to fix it ... strangely, with only one washing, it's back to work ...
In the end this is the truth about cars .. The car is a hole where to throw away the money ...
Surely it is useful and in certain situations necessary, but it is always a huge expense to maintain ...
