Everybody, this is the last $170 I spent. Last $170 I spent, this is everybody.
The car key and the quarter are there only for size comparison. They’re not included in the sum-total. I can’t remember the last time I was able to fit such an expensive group of items into such a small paper bag (or paper sack, depending on your region).
I think part of the allure of taking your vehicle to a shop to get it fixed is just the fact that you don’t have to look this kind of thing right in the face. Rubber grommets, copper crush washers, seals, tiny little things that can be the roots of big problems. And they carry big price tags. Even though you could probably eat them and poop them out without ever noticing.
Well, except that metal impeller. That would go down rough and clean you out.
