hah thats the price at basically every field out here. Its that money that keeps our doors open. Weve got things to pay for... a staff of ten people, insurance which is huuuuuuge, rental maintenance (weve got over 140 sets of gear to maintain), the lease on the field (40 acres dont come cheap), plus things like the compressor, keeping the big truck up and running and insured, and then theres the funds to build our new fields... weve got 4, building the 5th now. IT adds up

i suppose its a good reason for such a high mark up. Im used to the field here(SC Village), where you buy your paint and bring your gear there and you just pay 15 bucks for admission and that lasts for the whole day. an extra 20 for unilmited gas.

Here's one. I know it's been touched on before with euthanized pets, but here is another level.

I once worked for an organization that did rabies research throughout the eastern united states. Much of the seasonal position consisted of picking up raccoons, cats, fox, skunks, or any other canines that have died under any suspicious circumstances and testing them for rabies. After we were done with them, we would throw the carass in what was known as a "protein barrel". When the barrel was full, the protein guy would come pick it up and take it. Those nasty as f*** animals were then ground up and put into dog food.

not a word of it a lie

I know we've hear from a few poster's in auto repair but I want to hear from someone that worked in a quick oil change place like jiffy lube. Every time I got to one of those places they try to convince me that I need some $300 flush or my engine will fall apart.
