A dear neighbor friend of mine gave me a Yard Machines riding mower at the beginning of the mowing season. It wouldn't start (or so I thought), so I took it down the street to a small engine repair shop that specialized in motorcycles.
$335 later, they called me and said it was done.
Joe: $335
Mower: Winning!
We went to get the mower and it ran perfect for about 5 minutes of mowing. The blade belt came off the gears.
So, we called a mobile mower repair shop. They charged us $70 to say they couldn't find the right belt.
Joe: $405
Mower: Still winning!
I put the bloody thing on Craig's List and just sold it for $150.
Mower: Won!
I'm not even subtracting the $150 from my losses. Instead, I'm taking my wife out for an expensive hamburger.
