I just took a 1-2 punch in the old wallet.
1- got my daughter a cell phone for her birthday and she gave us a $300 overage right out of the box. (she is on a short leash now and 1/2 her paycheck is going to the bill).
2- My wifes Jetta had a strange swooshing sound that turns out to be a timing belt that is tracking funny and wearing the side of the belt on the tensioner pully. It will be replaced on Monday ($350-$400 in parts).
So I will have to bow out of the Euro Auto Fest.
