THE SUBARU UNDERGOES 'ANOTHER' WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT

Up a little earlier because I had to have the Subaru at the Bayfield Garage by 8 a.m.  Lorraine followed me with her car and then drove me home.  By the 'whirring' sound coming from the driver's side rear lately, I suspected another wheel bearing.  And, I was right.  That's the second wheel bearing replacement (driver's side rear) with the first one (driver's side front) on August 25th of this year.  What's with this 2018 Subaru wheel bearing problem?? So, 'Bang-Zoom' another nearly six-hundred-dollar bill done gone. ($530.99)

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Judy tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles.  One day, she told her problem to a friend she worked with at a salon. Her friend told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."  "That doesn't matter," replied Judy, "if only I can sell the car."  "Okay," said Judy's friend. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you, and he will turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles. Then it should not be a problem to sell your car."  The following weekend, Judy made the trip to the mechanic. Two weeks later, the friend asked Judy, "Did you sell your car?"  "No," replied Judy, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"

Did anyone see the joke I posted recently about my spine?  It was about a weak back.
