Esther Sedano is my 1999 Chevy Lumina that as of today has 60,233 miles on her. Today she’s in the shop, and, uh-oh, the mechanic is calling. On the phone with them now. What the hell did they find?

Ouch. She needs some work:

• Change the fuel filter
• Rotate tires
• Change radiator hoses
• Flush cooling system
• Fix leak in power steering system
• Replace pressure hose in the steering column
• Flush power steering system
• Clean, adjust rear brake
• Flush the brake system

Well, hell. I mean, she’s paid for. Ya know?

Yeah, we’ll be splitting this work up a bit.
