Vehicular Maintenance

To fix or not to fix, that is the question. Whether tis nobler... I got new tires today and what a difference. I would hope so for 535 bucks. Seems like every time a repair or maintenance is needed I want to get rid of the truck. Patience is the key, not triangulated cross-fire. In the long run (when it's paid for) it's worth it to fix...right? (Do I use too many ...'s?) Last time I got an oil change though the guy recommended new tires, fuel system check, radiator flush, etc. Total: $1300. Right! Just let me get my other wallet out and I'll take care of that. But seriously, don't you always want a newer, better, faster, better smelling vehicle? Porsche...there is no substitute. (maybe a Ford truck)
