Re: worse than [Chrysler300] Jiffy Jet bag prices?!

["rob kern" <robkern@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,
    You mean I went silly on bidding up and winning on Easter Sunday, 2003, 
a rusty spare tire cover for my C at $213 (shipping not included)?? Plus 
when it arrived at the body shop to have it refurbished (another $$$ 
situation) the body mechanic who opened the parcel thought it was a joke 
that somebody would ship from San Diego a rusty lid to a 55 gallon barrell!! 
Fortunately the proprietor prevented it from being thrown into the scrap 
metal shipment. Chuckling.  300'ly, ROB KERN
