The Last Leg

I hate spending money on cars. Especially to fix them up. Our Hyundai Sante Fe is five years old and proud to say is coming up on 100,000 miles! Anyway, the car - which has been quite reliable - has begun to show signs of slowing down. First, the horn stopped working. A few hundy to fix that. Then the driver side window stopped working. A few more hundy as well. Shocks were replaced a few months ago. Don't ask how much!

And then, the kicker! Returning from a weekend in Nashville, we returned to our car in the remote lot at Midway to find one of the tire completely deflated. Ironically, Kristen had the oil changed just the week prior and the serviceman stated how the tires needed to be replaced. Sabotage?

Regardless, the Sante Fe is now sporting four new tires. Ugh. We just hope nothing else happens to the car. We're holding out for the Spring and some new hybrids that are coming to market. Here's to any easy winter in Chicago!
