    I can crank it with tweezers if I needed to.

    $1000? Where the fuck do you get your parts from? $200 worth of parts would totally fix this thing right up properly.

        Where do you live, and why are they stealing your money like that to even say such things to me?

        • Car battery ≈ $120
        • Ignition lock+Key ≈ $60

        Are you shitting me, or are you really telling me that everyone has accepted getting ripped the fuck off?

          Those estimate signs are doing a lot of heavy lifting for you and you’re underestimating those costs.

          Maybe in bumfuck Mississippi those are regular prices, but I doubt it.

            I order sensors from California. Sensors there only cost about $15.

            I rebuild starters and alternators myself.

            I do most of the work, and it’s not even that difficult.
