Ha! $400 estimate to replace a water pump |
|
$51 for a pump at Autozone + 2 1/2 hours wrench time and it's a done deal.
Poo poo on you high priced auto shop!!! :D

7. I changed the starter on my van when I was 16-years-old |
|
That was my most handy moment I ever had.

5. My brother replaced the water pump in his boat |
|
I helped him with the neighbor's. Total savings over $500 in labor. Our neighbor took us out to a very nice dinner, nearly wiping out his savings.

8. It was, but he also brought his wife and our mother |
|
He didn't let us see the bill, but given the cost of the entrees, appetizers, drinks and desserts, it was up there.

9. Not necessarily. If it were MY savings that we were dining on... |
|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...I'd be worried that you would want to supersize your meal. .
