    4 new tires 205r16 $610
    oil change, filter and gasket 0w20 $45
    new 12v battery $235
    new fob $300
    free multipoint inpection
    out the door $1285

    Next time is 120,000 miles, so it will not be cheap, either.

    I was hydroplaning in wet weather, (second set since new) I was seeing voltages in the high 11s, and my wife washed her fob.

    Yup.

    Sorry about that!

    My mind is still cloudy from grogginess this morning after visiting the gym yesterday. (I guess I needed more sleep to recuperate).

    I changed the battery in the fob, but when I opened it there was rust and corrosion. They kept the old mechanical key and replaced the rest.

    I am NOT replacing the wife. (That is WAY more expensive)

    In my defense, after attempting to fix my post, a wife is not an “it”.....

    My son’s current science teacher is so exact in what she wants from the children (7th grade), ie which side of the notebook has what. It’s so funny she had us sign an acknowledgment of “Challenge Activity”. It notes that with at least 1 point on this activity, the student will achieve a 90% in the class! What she really meant was the potential for an A, since they are worth 11% of their grade....
