Should have charged $50.

My sister had a problem with her car. Turns out one of the spark plug leads had come off, and the engine was misfiring and running like crap.

Took it to the local garage - they correctly diagnosed, repaired and billed the fault. Total cost $50 diagnostic fee - 0.5 hours labor (5 minutes - 30 minutes minimum) - $50. Total - $100

So you're saying I should start a blog? That sounds like a mildly interesting idea. If I do start a blog, you'll be the first to know.

If it would keep posts like this off of anandtech, then YES please start one.

Deep inside, you know my threads are not crap.

Please visit my blog as soon as it's up and running... Reps to ElFenix for the idea.

$40 is a lot. I would have banned you for free just for being a nuisance.
