Furious Because of My Stupidity

Yea, so I was the one posting about the sound coming from the rear.. well it turns out the brake pads were too big for the Max. I then realize it needs new belts in the front, bringing my total just over 400 bucks! I just bought the car on June 3rd, and I'm already throwing money into it which I could have put into mods.. I wish I would have brought the car to my mechanic first...

Anyone else have similar stories?

I got a weird Taxi Cab sound coming from my right front wheel, that nissan thought was the strut. So it was just replaced yesterday, i picked it up today and i think it sounds worse. It goes back in next friday, i'm thinking it is the shock now but who knows.

Good thing for a warranty, $50 Deductible and i got a new strut.

Good luck with everything.
