Isn't that the truth! I keep a coffee cup in the cabinet that is called the chrome cup. A $20 here and there makes a part swap a lot easier. The other way to get a part swap is tell the ole lady that I think I need to replace3 this quick before I have a problem.lol She enjoys our rides together.

How are my children ever going to respect me when I argue that they don't NEED the latest PS3 DS HD Facebook twitter gadget

And that is only 300 bucks worth - a lot of money I agree but compared to what I am getting up to on the QT
Tell them the same thing I tell my spoiled kids when they want, want, want:
I have a job and have had one for over 25 years!!!!
