I'm not exaggerating about that figure either. 200. I swear to you, if my transmission hadn't just the week before melted into a grey mass of metal and plastic, they'd have had me there before the lady who'd called finished talking. I had considered going just to see what they were like, but after reading this entire string to date and seeing how much they charge, I'll take my chances in 'alt.personals.ads'.
