And you'd be without a car while it was being fixed. Maybe you should add in the cost of a car rental for a couple days?crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228473868337869523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734837708707570590.post-74379871702153606292010-07-02T23:15:20.684-05:002010-07-02T23:15:20.684-05:00i'm with kelly on this! pay the $50 a month no...i'm with kelly on this! pay the $50 a month now so you don't have to come up with some huge amount of money when you park you car outside and something bad happens!momofmanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429823804925929708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734837708707570590.post-84523153776934407602010-07-02T14:07:45.355-05:002010-07-02T14:07:45.355-05:00Compelling argument indeed.

I know St. Joe probably isn't as dangerous at STL, but I think knowing that your car is safe is well worth the annoying payment. <br /><br />If you want to think about it using numbers, my windows cost $350 or more to replace, so imagine coming up with $350 on a whim one month as opposed to $50 you've already worked into your budget. I had to do that twice, so I can tell how about how terrible it was! <br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you included cute dog pictures and the "physical challenges" comment made me lol. And I'll click on some of your ads! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139776767363625598noreply@blogger.com
