An Elephant Never Forgets

Brian's truck (Bless the piece of crap) has been having trouble starting. So. We took it into Pine. (So it's only what? Ten times it's been there in the past 3 weeks)...They said it needed a new fuel pump and fuel filter, to the tune of $900.

When Brian called to tell me this I about fell over. Then I got a little mad. Then it all came back to me...This fateful day replayed in my mind:


That was the day back in oh I don't know 2003? That Brian's fuel pump went out. They said -and-I-quote- "This has a lifetime warranty on it, so if it ever goes out again, we will replace it for free. But, fuel pumps never go out twice on vehicles." Two days later? Truck wouldn't start. Guess what? Faulty fuel pump. Fuel Pump #3 has lasted us thus far - now we need a new one. Thank GOD I remembered this (and had photos to prove it!).

So, the "Lifetime Warranty" coupled with the "Shenanigans le Pine Chevrolet" in previous weeks - $900...taken care of.

So, this just goes to prove the fact that I never forget ANYTHING. Sometimes it comes in handy, and sometimes it's just annoying.
