Today’s Run: \u00a060 min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n
We have noticed that our car has not been driving as “happy” as it did when we first bought it back in March.<\/p>\n
We purchased a 2012 dk blue Honda Accord on March 2 of this year. \u00a0We traded in our “frog”~a green Honda Element. \u00a0Everyone in town knew this car and to whom it belonged. \u00a0When I went to church or to the “Y” I would often hear, “We saw your car at…..”. \u00a0One person even said that he had seen us at a local food establishment and wanted to know if the food was any good. \u00a0The car was a high profile vehicle in town. \u00a0So, we traded up. \u00a0The Element was a 2007 and we had purchased it brand new. \u00a0Drove it off the lot, as they say. \u00a0It was beginning to get a little tired, so it was time for a change. \u00a0Enter the Accord.<\/p>\n
The Accord is a nice car. \u00a0But it is just a plain ol’ car. \u00a0Nothing fancy about it aside from the regular bells and whistles. \u00a0Suits us just fine. \u00a0But we noticed that it had lost it’s “joy” in being on the road. \u00a0You know how some cars are just “happy” to be running? \u00a0Well, our car seemed to be tired. \u00a0That is when we noticed it. \u00a0A gash in the drivers side front tire. \u00a0Uh-oh. \u00a0No wonder the car was tired!<\/p>\n
So, this morning, while I was at the “Y”, my husband took the car to the Honda dealership for an oil change and to see what could be done about the tire. \u00a0The oil change was great (we had a coupon) but we had to get two new tires for the front of the car. \u00a0Bummer.<\/p>\n
So, our little oil change ended up costing a little over $300.00. \u00a0Ouch! \u00a0Oh, the joys of car ownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
