Ouch. I know what you mean, man. Wife's alternator went out on her car (which is a Kia, so what normally would be a $150 repair is now $400), I need brakes, front bearings and either a new fuel pump/filter or new plugs on my car. Not to mention new tires for both cars.

Some of that you should be able to do yourself, like the alternator job and save yourself the labor costs.
Not knowing the mileage of your vehicle, it sounds like your car is losing power? Fuel pumps usually make it to 90,000 miles unless you typically run your tank near empty, then you have to replace it earlier. I like to do spark plugs, points, and wires around 50,000 miles, but I'm anal that way. Sounds like a long list there Formo - have you been putting things off or are you unlucky?
