Don’t Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Fix Today

Small repairs can turn costly when ignored (via Consumer Reports)

Posted by Joshua Condon on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 10:28 PM

I’ve had this annoying problem with my car – a clunking rattle and slow acceleration when shifting from second to third gear – that I’ve put off having looked at for a while. But after reading this article from Consumer Reports, I think I’m going to have someone investigate ASAP.

The advice (keep regular maintenance appointments and don’t put off getting small problems fixed) is nothing a car owner doesn’t already know. On the other hand, I bet most of us are guilty of ignoring one or both on occasion. The real world, worst-case scenarios they outline are pretty sobering, too: A $6,000 engine replacement instead of an oil change for 30 bucks? I need to make an appointment with my mechanic. Like, right now.


So what regular maintenance have you put off that you regretted later?

Ive never put off any maintenence. And Practice sucks, the lineman coach keeps calling me out on **** that he told me to do, then tells me not to take him literally. Then makes us all redo kickoff and threatens to replace me..... **** him

SO.... more Kevin drama. As usual. I'm not going to falter or waver this time. I want what I want, and that is for him to respect me and my wishes. I told him we need to get together and talk about sh*t and air things out in the open and that he has a lot of groveling to do. Hell, my ex husband cheated on me and moved in with the girl the same minute I moved out. I just don't get it. I ignored him until the text messages became too much, then I talk to him, and I just get those feelings all over again. It's nuts!!!

Morning all. Well isn't today just peachy? Person that should help open up in the morning turned off his cell, locked his bedroom door, his son was pounding on the door trying to wake him. He finally got up and to work 2 hours late and I have my crew chewing me up one side and done the other for things I have no control over...

Well I guess we all just have to remember, no matter how bad we have it there is someone out there worse off.

And as an attempt to bring a chuckle into everyone's life I'll add another photo I found on-line last night. If I don't get to busy I'll try to stock up on them and post one everyday I can just to try and make things better.
