i had a really sweet buick le sabre coupe. i had a really good ASE superstar mechanic who could keep a really sweet buick coupe running beautifully forever.
only problem was that he wasn't cheap. my labor, however, was really cheap. one day, i had the sort of electrical problem that might have taken a few very expensive hour to diagnose. or i could just diagnose them with a few more of my really cheap hours. and then after several hours of my cheap labor, the car started to burn with fire. and then it was no longer sweet.
