I just wanted to come on here and rant a little bit...
I really hate it when people take advantage of/rip you off. About a week ago I needed to get an extra O2 bung welded in an s-pipe. The guy charged me $50. $25 for the bung and the rest for the weld. It turns out I messed up the location and broke my wideband sensor b/c it was hanging too low on the pipe. I go back to the same guy and ask him if he could relocate the bung. He says he'll close that one up and put another one on. I said I'll get the bung this time, but he wants ANOTHER $50 for the welding. Oh, I went up the street to an auto parts store and got another bung. Guess how much I paid? $25? Fvck no! It was LESS THAN $3!!! Screw that guy! He was recommended to me by my mechanic, so on Monday I'm going to tell my mechanic to stop recommending that guy. What a friggin ripoff!
