Car Maintenance Makes Me Cry Follow-up

I have to admit that as much as a nearly $1800 bill hurts me, my Civic is running much better than it did prior to all of the maintenance work.

As I drove out of the NTB parking lot, I could definitely feel the brakes were much improved. After driving about 30 miles each way to the data center (all highway) for a night project, I felt the steering was more responsive, the ride was smoother, gear shifting as I accelerated & decelerated was smoother and overall drive seemed quieter.

I still need to have the timing belt and the cartridges for the airbags replaced but that should be done next week --after my next paycheck.
