I'll be eating lentil soup for months and months...<br /><br />And I still wish I had the same garage for my car I had in Buffalo. After a few repairs for my (older) car, I jokingly asked for the "frequent flier" discount. They said that everybody who knew the mechanic's first name would get it. I looked at the mechanic's name tag and cried out, "Angelo, my friend!"<br /><br />After that I got a 10% discount on everything and all my oil changes were free.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-78283508890259185732013-02-20T16:39:31.461-06:002013-02-20T16:39:31.461-06:00I wish it was that easy, but we both know it isn&#...I wish it was that easy, but we both know it isn't.<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-12959663928167966482013-02-20T13:25:41.823-06:002013-02-20T13:25:41.823-06:00I told my next door neighbor one day about how whe...I told my next door neighbor one day about how when I lift the hood today it's all I can do to find the oil dipstick. He said oh, it's easier to work on them today cuz there's only about three parts under the hood. It's all computerized but you can just replace a motherboard and it's fixed.
