I finally paid Retail for Repair...AUGGGG!!

Yesterday, my wife called to tell me her van broke-down on the way to work, (no suprise,'92 Chevy Astro). After work I went to see what was the problem. Broken belt and tensioner ($50 parts) and I had it fixed in a half-hour. I was in a hurry to get somewhere else and neglected to realise the van was in a tow-away zone. When the wife had a co-worker take her to pick-up the van, it was gone. A trip across the county and $140 in towing/storeage fees, we got her van back. So, I figure I just paid Retail for the first time in my life. Next time (oh yeah, there WILL be a next time) I will look around for a better place to break down.
Thanks for letting me rant-n-rave for a moment. Looking for a nice wagon for her cuz she aint get'n mine!
Rick
