LOL, true.
OTOH, front pads were shot, and the fluid needed changing (30k miles), and I got a super deal on the brake kit + labor, and they threw in the 30k service because I was a new customer, so it was almost a wash.
Plus I cancelled two trips next month which will save me ~$1.5k.
So neener neener.

Yep. I got out at night usually, less traffic, but you need to know the road well. I wouldn't drive Mt. Hamilton or Morgan Territory at night, too dangerous. You screw up on those roads and they won't find you until after the cougars and coyotes are done with you.

I never see P-cars on those roads because all the guys out here who own them are too old or too busy working to make their $5k/mo house payment. Come on dood, road trip out here. :)
