True, I didn't bat an eye as each bill came in. Just paid it and was happy
that I was a little closer to having the car on the road.
I'd probably have closer to the $15,000 like you do but that would be
including a bunch of tools I bought to work on the car. Compressor,
welder, torch, etc. I can't justify making the spit pay for them when I'm
using them on my dodge truck and the other Triumphs.
