BFS Newsletter #130 - My Car Will Go Kaboom

Hi <<First Name>>!  Do you know what a brake master cylinder is?  I didn't know it before, but now I know that it is the piece that holds the brake fluid and costs $200-$430 for a 2005 Chevy Aveo.  A new one with a sensor is specifically $375 for my car plus and hour in labor plus I needed an oil change.  Altogether, I am paying out $550 today, which wouldn't be so bad except my mechanic guesses that I only have about 1 year left with this car.  SAD.  But I did get a badly made car to last nine years - the trick was to drive less than 65,000 miles in 9 years.  ;-)  Yeah, I know I'm a brat...
