    Bill, you used to get me really hot under the collar at KGO, but I miss your show because of your clear thinking and great common sense.

    I went in for a $700 scheduled maintenance and it got “boosted” to over $3000 to repair the timing belt. The car had 130K miles on it, what the hell do I know about timing belts, so I did it … but $3000?

    Glad I found this website so I can hear your commentary again.
