However, I also have the "ad hoc Cooking at Home" book and that seems a little more up my alley, cooking-wise.
Ooh, I a copy just came to me today. Someone got it for me for my birthday. Exciting!

Can I cry now? A light showed up on my dashboard on Wednesday morning, so I took the car into the shop this morning. Just got the call.
Warning light was due to a oxygen sensor in the emissions system going out. Oil has to be changed. Brake light is out. Transmission fluid is overdue for a draining and refill. Cabin air filter is overdue for replacement. And the front brake pads are 80% worn. Getting all of that fixed is costing me $1200, and that doesn't include the new tires I'm going to need sooner rather than later. Civic is 4 1/2 years old, and this is the first thing I've had to do to it other than oil change and the time I had to replace a tire. At least I have the money in savings, for once, but it's going to deplete my account severely.

How many miles does your Civic have?

Just over 30,000, I think. I only put 10 miles on it during my commute, and I haven't taken too many long drives in it.

Check your maintenance schedule for the transmission fluid. I call bullshit for having to change out your transmission fluid yet on a Civic.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
$1200 for that seems steep, too, but I'm no expert. A filter, oil/fluid change and new brake pads shouldn't cost that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. For auto maintenance/fluids etc., go by your owner's manual, not what the dealer or other repair place says.

The transmission fluid is $140, the brake pad change includes rotors and fluid, and there's the original problem which is the oxygen sensor on the emissions system which includes a reprogramming of the software to tweak the cause of the sensor going out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The oxygen sensor replacement I'm guessing about $300.
Brakepads maybe $250 - $300
Replace a brake light bulb dunno, I'd just do it myself. Maybe $10
Transmission Flush maybe $150 (which I don't think you need.)
Oil change $30
Cabin Air Filter maybe $20
Just guessing, but yeah, I agree with bon bon, I'd call around.
