Wow. Firestone *is* a rip-off on parts prices! Their price: $345.12:

Tailor Res Wires $119.98
Rotor $24.99
Dist Cap $49.99
Fuel Filter $21.99
Platinum Plugs $13.03 (x6 = $78.18)
Ever-wear 3 step fuel system cleaner $49.99

I checked Autozone.com (like my friend, Clay, taught me :) ) and I can get all the parts needed for $152.95:

Tailor Res Wires $49.99
Rotor $8.00
Dist Cap $26
Fuel Filter $6.99
Platinum Plugs Set of 4 for $5.99 ($11.98 total)
Ever-wear 3 step fuel system cleaner $49.99 - couldn't find this on autozone.com but I'm sure it's cheaper!

That right there brings my estimate down to approximately $311.19, saving me $192.17!!! And all that is labor charges! Hmm, wonder if I can bribe Clay again?

I've totally forgotten that Cheddar X exists lately, so without further ado, here are this week's Cheddar X Questions:

1. Who's your favorite superhero? Aquaman. Not sure why since I don't like the ocean, but I was fascinated with him when I was little.
2. Who's your favorite villain? The Queen in Sleeping Beauty - Mallificent. She scared the bejesus out of me!
3. What was your last brush with greatness? Anyone who knows me knows it's when I met Ed on April 14, 2004. :)
4. Who is the last celebrity you've seen in public? Ed.
5. What's the most important event on your horizon? My mom coming to visit me in the next month or so.
And one political question, I can't help it.
6. What did you think of Bush's speech last night? Didn't see it, but I'm sure it was fabulous and long.
