It could have been worse

Let’s go back in time. We only need go back a couple of weeks. Dress warm, it is cold outside. No, I’m sure we will fit seamlessly into the culture unless you have weird Spock ears, then you might wear a stocking cap. 

Ready? Transport!

We picked up the wife’s car Saturday morning. It now has a new engine, a new turbocharger and a new battery. The whole repair was north of $8K. 

I was dead set against buying the extended warranty when we purchased that used car. I let the wife talk me into it. 

Now I’m out less than $500 instead of $8400. That includes a new battery not covered by the warranty. 

I’m willing to say the most painful words in the world.

I was wrong.
