$192.50 to replace a valve related to the exhaust system which caused the engine light to come on which prevented me from being elligble to participated in the vehicle emission test which was required for the purchase of the annual license plate sticker.
Got that? Sure is a big run-on sentence to type!
Could have been much worse, or so DH says. I am relieved that these "murphies" seem to be behind us (see my previous post about the hot water tank replacement at the rental property last Friday). My grandmother is gifting us $1,000 to cover that $989. The interesting thing about DH and I is that we never ask for help, and we usually turn down monetary help unless it is especially for something for the kids.
My grandmother said "it is a reward for being responsible," rather than a "hand-out to cover some self-indulgence." I think it comes from the Depression Era, how she and my grandfather forumlated their views on sharing their good fortune with their future generations.
And the car repair cost ...
