とうとうランクル様（主人お気に入りの94年ものトヨタ・ランドクルーザー）も世代交代を迎えたか！！今度は、フュエル・インジェクター（写真）のひとつがダメになってしまい、また修理屋さん行き。フュエル・インジェクターは全部で６つあるのだけれど、そのうち他のもそろそろ寿命がくるだろうから、工賃のことを考えれば一度に交換してしまったほうがいいですよと言われ、考えた主人。全部すると1300ドル。ひとつだと400ドル。今まで強気で押してきた主人なので今度も1300ドルで行くのかと思いきや、今回は「ひとつだけでいいや」と言い出した。どうやら、そろそろ買い替えを考えているらしい。早く燃費のよい車にしたかった私も、そうすんなり言われちゃうとなんだかさびしい気分。。。どういうわけだか、娘が大反対している。どうなるかは乞うご期待。My husband's 1994 Land cruiser might soon have to yield a spot in our garage to another car. This time it's a fuel injector malfunction. The car has six of them and according to the mechanic, it is much more cost-efficient if we replace all of them at one time, considering all those parts have the same life span and they will all eventually give in. If we do all, it costs $1,300. If you go with just one, it's $400. I was expecting that my husband would replace all of them, since he never ever seriously thought about letting the car go. Against my expectation, however, he said that he would do just one. He started thinking about getting a new car finally. I, having been trying to persuade him to do so for more than a year, feel somehow sad to hear him say that. I am not quite sure why, but our daughter is so ageist the idea too. Whatever happens next, you would be update...
