Being a knife nut I often look at non knife spending as " How many JK knives would that have paid for"
Last week, I caught up in that vehicle repair spiral. My old truck was not running right, so I took it out to my mechanic. He found a part in the computer that needed fixed and a leaky throttle body gasket. Well with the parts and labor, 187.00. But then he said,"better get that front end lined up, those front tires are wearing bad. So to the alignment shop I went. Idler arm was shot and the whole job turned out running 275.00. Since the front tires were so bad, I gritted my teeth and put on four new Ten ply tires. (3/4 ton) Pick-up. 450.00 bites the dust. Last but not least, the plates expire this month, another 65.00. I also had to put 62.00 worth of Gas in it.
I cry at how many GREAT JK's this would have bought.
