Am I off my meds again?
I accidently cut one of my spark plug wires in half.. I was working on one of the engines and went to turn it over and one plug wire got caught up in the alternator belt. I just looked up the mercruiser part number 881698 (wire set) and found the list price is $575.00, but on todays blue light special I can get it for a mere $479.01....!!!!
Since I did make it just past the 7th grade, & I am assuming my math is correct, it would cost me $958.02 (+ tax ) to replace the spark plug wires on both of my engines. I'm not sure, but I have a pretty good idea you could buy a damn nice house somewhere in Mexico for that!
Although I like my current job, I have decided to quit and go into the marine spark plug wire business. When I do, I will name my new Mega Yacht " Plug Wires ". Then I can go and hang out with the guy that owns the Car Dealership on his Mega Yacht named " Doc Fee "....
Anybody know if there is an automotive equivalent? Anybody got a spare plug wire?
Thanks Folks!
