I wish I could become solvent as well. I just had two of my 3 cars go in for repairs. Car 1- $366 ok could handle that, car 2- eek $555. Then stupid me decides car 3 should be checked. brakes and struts $950. Doesn't look like I'm becoming solvent anytime soon. BTW the only problem with having the same type or car seems to be the coincidental needing the same type of repairs. Last fall the two cars I had both needed new chips to fix heater/blower problems. This time it was master cylinder/calipers&brakes/and brakes&struts. Pog - I wish you the best, and I'll be wanting to visit Ireland to see it!
