Spending $2814.53 on my car's transmission almost did my old Scottish heart in. It pains me to spend any money especially on something as dumb as a little part which is essential to the running of my car! The following is a list of things I could have bought instead of a dumb old transmission:
The Best of Italy 14 day tour (airfare, hotel, transportation)
PowerBook G4
Sony PFM-42X1 42" Plasma Screen TV
Loet Vanderveen Trojan Horse sculpture
Enough food at Jack in the Box to feed a small country
Pride Celebrity 4 Wheel Electric Scooter (the kind grandma's use)
2814 packs of gum
Darn, I would have really liked that gum too.
