Non-toy Acquisitions

a pair of handbrake cables (left & right) from Lander Blacktown for $328...

Why is it that we can justify one TF purchase after another but we shake our head when it comes to things like this..?

Having spent the past few weekends fixing up the gf's car, I can sympathise with the insane prices dealers want to charge you for items. Case in point some Ford Festiva Tie Rod ends. Ford wanted $140 each for the ends and the arms (which I didnt need) and would not sell just the ends. Repco for just the rod ends wanted $121 each. Got them from Autobarn for $27 each...

For less essential things than Handbrake cables I suggest Pick and Payless, so much cheaper and easier to deal with. (as long as you actually know what you are looking for).

Because TF's come before physical preservation of the self.

Having had my first car for 10+ years, I've gotten quite good at hunting down replacement parts for bargain prices but handbrake cables (for my car atleast) seem to snap every 3-4 years... *shakes head* & the ones I've found at Pick n' Payless/Pick n' Pull are pretty much at the end of their tether... & the only other place that sells 'em is Nissan directly... Oh well... *shrugs*

Well, Der!

Well, it was only the driver's side cable that needed replacing so I'm pleased to report a refund on the un-used/still-sealed 2nd cable was obtained today (A smile & a friendly attitude at the customer service desk goes a long way ).

Goddam that is a hard game to find at a decent price. It still sells for heaps. I wish they'd make the damn thing Platinum.
