Well the new break down..

The CEL is from a solenoid value in my evaporator emission system is corroded... that's about $191 or so. It's really not hurting much, but the CEL light will be on until it's fixed. So not doing that.

The spark plugs are showing age.. $141.. and that's probably why the acceleration on Bubbi's a bit slow. Not really a problem since I have given up street racing.. so not doing that.

The fix today is the radiator about shot. I knew it was coming down to this over the course of the winter, but frankly didn't want it to be true. Cest la vie. That's about four hundred. Doing that..

They said oddly - with those few areas everything else looks as great as it can be. So that's good.. long live Bubbi.

So.. it looks like I will be checking into doing the valve myself or not doing it at all.. scraping some cash for tires... eventually. Bypassing any hand gun and conceal and carry permit purchasing...
