RE: Here's what's going on w/my Scout/Help in the Bay Area?

Exxon charges $73 / hour!  Wow. I think that gas stations
are charging around $35 - $40 an hour here.  Of course, it seems
like less and less folks are getting trained in mechanics, so the
price is going to get worse every year.

Sometimes folks tease me about the expense of maintaining my IHs.
It seems like it is always because they are jealous.  I'll trade
$25 / month (avg) for my IHs against a $400 / month car payment
anyday!

1974 Travelall - a one-armed blind kid can change the starter in
                 20 minutes.
1975 Travelall - same
1980 Scout     - Add 10 minutes because of headers
1998 Aurora - the labor book states that changing the starter
     takes 11 hours!  Probably should be done by a dealer.
     Hmmm, when does my warranty expire?!?!?
