The buggy got a 145,900 mile/$570 tune-up
And a leaking power steering hose replaced (and a 'keep an eye on the other one' comment. And the 'other one' is probably going to cost twice as much to replace (apparently it's a $260 hose that is difficult to remove/replace) when I do have it done.)
The tune-up included replacing the two gas filters -- apparently one of the places I've been getting gas has a bit too much water in their gas. They were water-logged.
And the alternator belt was replaced -- it had a chunk missing out of it that wasn't noticed until it was removed so the pulleys could be checked. I still need to have the pulley bearings replaced. Another couple hundred $$$.
All things I needed done before my next long trip next month... I knew there was a reason why I had "spare" cash in my checking account this/last month. Good thing the PS3 doesn't come out until November... I might have enough money for it by then...
