Its a tough call. Mine was a $400 car which I put $300 of brakes into, I couldn't justify running it any higher.
My Dad has never paid more than $10 for a watch. 20 years ago you could get a decent watch for $10, now he buys them 3 at a time. Seems to me he could buy a $30 watch and be better off but he likes having $10 watches. Couple years ago Angie bought me a $300 watch, best watch I'd had before that was $30. Is the $300 watch better than the $30? Not really, it tells time about the same. I have to be more careful about taking it off before I put my hand into a car engine... -Curt Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 13:21:36 -0400 From: Gary Hurst <jabbahur...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Brake fiasco Message-ID: <caciok3st5bo0ffu+vlwy79ax7ghfck6bcd9vj0hn8vpbbar...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 sometimes it works out perfectly but all too often not. my ex wife used to boast about how some $7 pair of shoes were the best pair of shoes she ever had. great, but does this somehow mean $7 shoes are a good idea in general? some guys are ok with enduring multiple failures for the thrill of sometimes getting a bargain. i just want it right. i don't see the point in messing around with generic white box chinese stuff reboxed as "pbr" or "ate": when i can have the real deal for roughly the same price. the china stuff might work super fine and dandy but why mess around with it when it so often doesn't? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
