Hello, and welcome to In My Bag! My name is Jenn, and this is my product review blog. 
You know what sucks? Car problems. Our ’05 Hyundai Sonata just rolled over 80,000 miles, and my ’02 Kia Spectra is close to 110,000 miles (yes, that number makes me nauseous). So far we’ve only had to take care of normal wear-and-tear issues, including front brakes for the Hyundai last year and for my car last month, and rear brake pads and rotors for both vehicles a few weeks ago. My car’s tires were replaced three years — about 20,000 mile ago — ago, and the Hyundai’s tires were replaced a year ago. Aside from the standard oil changes, filter changes, fluid checking and the occasional windshield wipers needing replaced, we haven’t had any issues. My neighbor, on the other hand, has had some major issues with his Ford F-150. Sucks to be him!
Then today my husband discovered a small chip in the Hyundai’s windshield. Grrr. It’s not as pressing as the dreaded check engine light going off, but we’ll still need to get the car to a auto shop within the near future. That small chip could spread and eventually require the whole windshield to be replaced — and if I can avoid that and a rather pricey San Diego auto repair bill, I will!
Barring any other issues, we’re good on vehicle maintenance for at least another month or two, as I just had the oil in both cars changed, and all eight of the tires rotated. Here’s to making it through another summer without any problems!
