Re: damn im pissed

[Keith Fullerton <kefullerton@yahoo.com>]

I paid $40 for a small import shop to remove and press in both driver
and passenger side mount. I thought it was steep for the short time it
took but they did it on very short notice at 9:00 o'clock at night. I
also heard a lot of swearing and banging as they struggled to remove
the old mounts.

It was an interesting expierencre though as they asked me to run out
and buy beer for them while I waited. After the mounts where done I
hung out with them for about an hour drinking beer and talking cars.

Keep calling around...I'm sure some one wants your business.
