I hate it when I get woke up with an estimate for the car, that's about double+ what I expected. The idle controller (not a huge surprise), instead of just an adjustment to the throttle, k, fine. Struts, well, that's one of the main reasons it was sent in this time, so, I knew that much. And no... the fluid leak isn't from the power steering/brake fluid resevoir, it's because the rack has a crack in it... rack as in "and pinion"... SHIT! 9 a.m. is NOT when I want to hear the words "Cost", "you" and "$1200" all put together in a sentence. On the up side, it could be worse. I was already figuring around $5k going into the car over the next while to make it essentially brand new again anyway. But, I didn't really want it to be THAT big of a chunk right at the moment. Thank god the year/make/model I have is an audi/vw, so damn near every car they put out in that particular time frame used the same parts. Very interchangeable. Could be a lot worse. But still... ouch... damnit. >.<
