So, David's nice German car overheated and went into the garage for a $1300 thermostat. But as car repairs go,$1300 became $1600. Annoying, but what could he do.
When the garage called to say his car was ready to be picked up, I dropped David off and headed home. Within 30 minutes, he called to say his car had overheated, again. And he called Ed's towing, again.
Fast forward one week. David still has the rental car provided by the garage and is heading to BestBuy to get some speakers for our IAS effort in Africa. His rental car suddenly breaks down -- in the middle of traffic in front of Santa Row. I rush to his rescue and we wait in my warm Lexus until Ed, from Ed's towing shows up for the third time. "Don't I know you..."
Don't hold your breath -- you will probably expire before David's $1600 thermostat is sorted out!
