You know what pisses me off? Male mechanics who tell you shit is wrong with your car just because they assume you won't know any better if you're a woman.
I was in Colorado, driving east, and I made a stop to get my cars fluids changed out. They said I had a small oil leak. So I take it to a mechanic. He tells me I need a new catalytic converter, new belts, new valve cover gaskets and a coolant flush immediately or my car won't make it 50 miles. He quotes me around $2200. I know there's an oil leak, and that's it's the valve cover gaskets, so I ask if he can just do that. Nope. He would do all of it or nothing. So I said fine. I'd like my keys back, please. And I left. I took it to another mechanic, who fixed my valve cover gaskets and put in some new spark plugs for $270 and found nothing wrong anywhere else. Bastards.
Then on my way back I stop at a gas station that also has a tire shop. I go in to pay for my gas, come out, and the guy from the tire section tells me my front right tire is going to blow at any time. Just back the car up into the garage, he says, and he'll put on my spare for me. Sure. I back the car up, he looks at my spare, and tells me it's not much better than what I have on there. Before I even know wtf is going on, my car is in the air. Literally. And he's walking around my car talking about tire treads and rotating the tires after x amount of miles and so forth. He tells me I need new front tires immediately. Oh and that'll be $300. He even almost had me with that sense of urgency bullshit until he says to me "I've got some used ones but they're not much better than what you have either." Ummm...soooo....my tires are about to blow...and you're selling ones just like them? I'd like my keys back please....
Dates DON'T mean sex by the way boys 
Why clean it up if you can just replace it
