The 'official' one was $$$ - one of the firefighters said it looked just like a tackle box at the local fishing shop - turned out it was exactly the same, minus the Star of Life decals - and only $ - which paid for extra boxes and lots of decals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-76734458532465597582019-10-24T13:41:57.874-04:002019-10-24T13:41:57.874-04:00“No, I’m looking for the wrong parts for the right...“No, I’m looking for the wrong parts for the right job. A lot of money can be saved with a little creativity." And to get that done takes a smart person, which you very obviously are.

They stocked a tiny little o-ring that fit the same place on a Jeep, an Olds, and a Cadillac. They had the same number and came out of the same parts drawer. If you bought it fore the first-50 cents, the second-a dollar, the third-two dollars. Such is marketing, you pay for the name.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
