It is totally official. The hubby and I have now reached that age where we think everything is too expensive and then we say "I remember when it use to cost this much". My hubby is currently driving a car from 2002 that hasn't had working A/C for the last 5 years. We keep looking and talking about buying a new car but can't pull the trigger cause everything is way too expensive. About a week ago something called the axle boot cracked on his car. I figured that this was it, our cheap asses are now forced to buy a new car. Nope, the hubby wasn't having it. He YouTubed how to fix it, jacked up the car and went to work. It seems like it is now fixed....fingers crossed. This is what my mechanic looked like when he came into the house to start scrubbing up......
