The wife borrowed my car yesterday and now I'm out 5 keys, including a $200 key fob. Yeah, the Hyundai dealership wanted $200 for it and $25 for a new key. We just got the key for now. Tip: many gas stations offer rewards cards or coupons for groceries when buying gasoline. Always be sure to get these and keep in your car these promos add up when you do a lot of driving.

Bringing my car into the shop always costs way more than I'm willing to spend! Having the brakes fixed tomorrow, but thankfully my father-in-law knows a thing or two about cars!
