the necessary evil that is a car

So cars suck. Both of our cars are due for registration in September - that stinks. This year both cars required a safety inspection so Weston took them both in on the 26th. Wouldn't you know it, they both failed. We kind of feel like we get nailed on the dumbest safety regulations - last year Weston had to peel off the tint in his car because it was deemed too dark ... whatever. This year, my car didn't pass because I need a new windshield, which "somehow" passed during the last inspection (it's been cracked for over 2 years). My car also failed because the horn wasn't loud enough. LAME. Weston's car had legitimate issues that needed to be resolved. His rear brakes had to get fixed and he has a leak in his power steering - we'll find out in the morning if that's all fixed and how much it will set us back. We're crossing our fingers that the power steering fix is the cheaper of 2 options (not the option that will cost $600+). Since my car needed a new horn, we picked one up for $15 over the weekend and Weston installed it tonight. If any of you know Weston, he will be the first one to say he's not "handy." I have come to realize he is a lot more of a handyman than he gives himself credit for. He has fixed/jerry-rigged (semantics) plenty of things around our home. For proof, I took pictures of him being a mechanic :)And here's a picture of the beautiful new horn
