Wait, are you supporting the fairness and accuracy of the Mitchell time
estimate or are you saying it is wrong. NO WAY ON EARTH!?!?!!?!!!!!!!
Can you exaggerate a little more please. That wasn;t quite out of this
world.

It's just the way it is Benny.

It's the bear eating or getting eaten thing.
( I did enjoy Jim's analogy, never heard it put quite that way )

<<If� that time is accepted by many in the industry, then it stands to
reason that it must be reasonable. Otherwise, these shops�would no
longer be in business, right? If the customer hired a shop who can't do
the job in the prescribed time, the customer needs to evaluate the
hourly cost of that shop time.>>

It's just the industry standard of how things are chaged, and I don't
have a clue who comes up with some of the rediculas times, be it good,
bad, or indifferent for whoever.

<<In my line of work,>>

Now were getting somewhere.

That is just mean spirited, Ricky�de Cardo. Leave Chris G. alone. He's
my buddy and he is selling me his Syncro Westy for $6,001.

Not at all.
It's a wakeup call for those who may be a taking a nap, and may really
believe that book time is a rip off.
It can work both ways.

Now you have just unloaded your real motive here Benny.

Your the mean spirited one here BT, taking advantage of poor Cris just
because of a bad blue book reading, or maybe just a blind, crippled, and
crazy sales person.

Your Bad.
