Default 2012 Audi A1 buying fail. Dont trust anyone

So I bought a 1976 XJ6 and a Audi A1 2012.

Here I am being a bit simple trusting anyone really, spend $19,000 on a Audi, notice a bulge in one of the tires a few days after transferring the Rego over not a problem really, trip down to BobJanes in Artarmon for a $188 tire (little bit more then I thought it would be).

The guy tells me he cant do a wheel alignment as the "Track rod end is bent" Take it to Midas Chatswood and get told its roughly $2500 just for parts!!!


On a positive note.
The Jaguar went from not moving to running nicely with a can of "Start ya *******" and some elbow grease.

"The bonus of knowing nothing is knowledge is easily gained"

But at what cost to you? Enjoy the cars.

Although that's "Confucius say:" information that I agree with, sadly it doesn't pertain to most kids these days. They are not very bright and they don't care to learn. Why? Because they have a phone that tells them "what's needed next to get a promotion without having to work for it?"

You get experience 10 minutes after you needed it.
