I thought I was maintaining my vehicles!! I guess the car I had that made it to 200,000+ just started needing bigger repairs (clutch, timing belt, etc) and there really was no way I could do it myself. So when the mechanic bills start coming back at $1000, $2000, etc., everytime I brought it in for an oil change, for me it gets to a point of "why am I putting this much $$ into a 10 year old vehicle?".

But again, this could just be coming back to the clueless woman at the mechanic problem.
