Wow, that's quite the rundown of your car maintenance! It's interesting how the prices of everything are creeping up. The bit about potentially upgrading to 17" brakes reminds me of how customizable things are these days. It almost feels like designing your own car piece by piece. Sometimes I feel the same way when I am designing my own sundae at
papa's freezeria! At least you caught the potential AWD issue early. Good looking out for your vehicle!
