My son and I often carpool to work. We alternate cars and figure this is a great way to save money and gas in this recession. Although he sold his Mustang and bought a BMW, he still loves to drive mine . . . .
But just the other day, he sent me this email:
HIM--Hey, so I've decided I don't like how ur car feels. I had ridden last week in my friend's 2001 GT. The suspension had new shocks and it felt amazing.
I could put new shocks in ur car. It would only take me about 2hrs cause I won't do the springs like I did with my old Mustang.
I looked up prices, $170 for all four with lifetime warranty which would be a lot better than what u got, or $330 for all four performance shocks, which would be really way better, more performance oriented.
So what u say??? U know u want them...right?
ME (writing back). Let’s start with replacing the toilet thing. . .the flap. . .
HIM--Well it gonna cost you about $200 dollars to fix the toilet...that ok?
ME -- Wow, is that parts or labor?
HIM--It’s a rough economy right now...and good work doesn't come cheap! It would just be a really crazy coincidence if your Mustang's shocks got better around the same time
This was really a guest blog. . . by a guest who is unaware of his contribution. Many thanks to my son, Alex.
