This week is turning out to be an expensive one. I went to the tire place to have my winter tires swapped for the summer ones, and was informed that two of them were too low on tread to be legally installed, meaning I need new tires. I can't see buying two new ones this season and then two next year so I asked about the price for a set of four. was going to be over $900! I then asked if they would be running a sale any time soon, and it turns out that they had an 18% off sale today, as long as you bought & scheduled online (which I did). Total came out to around $740? which is a lot better.
I took the Honda out for a long ride this evening & stopped off a couple places for a beer (still trying to see if I can get to a point where 1-2 beers won't bother me). As I was heading to the 1nd place, I tried to pass a car while in 5th gear, but rather than accelerating, the engine just spun up the rpms (meaning, my clutch is almost gone). The stock clutch lasted me all the way to 75,000 miles, but this replacement one has managed less than half of that, so I'm kind of unhappy about that. Not sure on price, but it seems like it was 800-900 last time? I've been considering having the engine pulled anyway to have a bunch of oil seals replaced (as it'd leaking oil from pretty much everywhere), but hadn't planned on the additional cost of the clutch. Still, between these two expenses, I can cover both with my tax refunds from this year, so it won't put me out at all, just behind.
I wonder what's next though? After all, don't they say bad luck comes in threes?
