Today's feature at a local venue is a horror movie: "The Pickup That Ate My Income Tax Refund."
No sooner did my state refund arrive than some ugly noise erupted in the front end of my Ranger. The diagnosis from a mechanic I trust: Ball joint/control arm problems. The passenger side was biggest problem(one bad pothole from catastrophe), but the driver's side wasn't in the best shape either. Given my plan to keep it for a few more years even if I get a newer day-to-day vehicle, I went ahead on getting it fixed up right, but yeesh. I had other designs on that money.
