Getting towed because your car breaks down:  $125

Mechanics bill to find nothing wrong with it but still not work:  $135

Dry gas for tank:  $4.80

Finding out it was only water in your gas tank:  Priceless

gosh....good thing I have a good sense of humor, huh?

Laughing out loud. I feel that if your mechanic can't figure out what is wrong with car. He should not get paid. I enjoyed this very much, Thanks for sharing.

Oh...I blew the head gasket and cracked the block on my car...they fixed it but not the non-working water pump that caused it.

Total Bill-$1400.00 (I only paid $1000.00, I argued until they gave me what I wanted just to get me out of there).

Lesson Learned-Don't drive on when the temp is in the red. (I hear the name calling!!)

it's not really my mechanics fault for not noticing LOL  I mentioned every other aspect....  He didn't do the gas tank cause he knows I am low on funds.... and he did all of the labor for free...

you're right Cpat...knowing is priceless. LOL
