Engine, Engine

I was sitting with an old friend last night, I'll call him Ron just to give him a name, who was lamenting his recent car repairs. $2300 for this and $8000 for that. Expensive stuff.

Then I did the math. His engine repairs cost more than five times, yes, five times what I paid in 2019 for my new old van.

Actually, it would be a bit more than five times his repairs. My new old van only cost me $1700.

Dang.
