WOW. Just wow.
I thought I knew the king of cheap skates in the automotive world.
I was working on a gal's old Ford pick up truck........it needed a coil.
I went to Ace auto parts in St.Paul thinking I could get one for a couple bucks.
She was a starving artist ( aren't they all ) , so it was a welfare job.
I found one in the yard and took it to the counter......the owner told me 15.00.
They were around 20.00 new at the time.
I told him he was nuts and walked away.
Understand............this is a very busy and prosperous salvage yard.
Don ( the owner ) followed me out to my car with it in his hand and asked " How much will you give me for it ? "
I told him 2.00 and he settled for 4.00.
Sorry Don............you will have to relinquish your crown to Ben.
I have paid for parts at the track and I have given and gotten them for free.
But this is stunning to read.
just wow.
