woe is me

I just spoke to the mechanic. My car needs new tires , rear shocks, motor mounts, and a bushing. The whole thing is costing me about $850. I am a little bit shocked at this horrifying expense, but taken in light of the six years that I have owned the car, it is not so bad, as I have almost never incurred any repair bills other than routine stuff. And this is actually routine stuff too, things that wear out as opposed to some mechanical failure. I had thought, back in the spring, that the car most likely would need new tires soon, but I had quickly banished that to the back of my brain (avoidance). $850 is a lot of money for me. I want to cry...
