Boy I sure hope those wonderful macpherson thingies have made terrific
inroads into improved handling and ride because they certainly have
****ed up the maintenance of your suspension.  Replacing the damper
elements on the front end of a car has escalated from ~50$ (for
damn good shocks) to ~140$ (for good macphersons) and this doesn't
count that replacing the strut usually requires a front end alignment
(if you are lucky you can replace just the cartridge and forgo the
alignment).

Can some of our automotive afficianados educate me as to the wonderful
things Macphersons do for me so that when I have to go chip in my
$140 I can at least pretend to be happy about it?  Since my car is
new I hope this will be some time to come.
