\"\"there’s been a noise coming from the front of my truck. \u00a0i don’t have a rack like this at my house so i took it to Lex Brodies for a free estimate. \u00a0why not right? \u00a0anyway, one hour later, the guy calls me and says “sir, your truck is seriously broken and is too dangerous to drive. \u00a0it will cost $2,175 to fix it.” \u00a0i already knew he was trying to scare me and overcharge me so i told him “it’s ok, i will pick up my truck now.” \u00a0then he said “you will need to call a tow truck and tow it out of here because it can’t roll.” \u00a0oh boy, he’s trying to scare me again. \u00a0so i tell him “put down my truck and i’m going to tow it home.” \u00a0so i get there, walk to my truck, jump in it, start it up, and simply drive it home. \u00a0then my brother is a mechanic too so he fixed it for $200. \u00a0that’s the difference from honesty and dishonesty. \u00a0it’s very common for mechanics to scare you into fixing things that don’t need to be fixed. \u00a0i know enough about cars that i won’t be suckered. \u00a0but i also know a lot of people that would have just paid the $2,175 too. \u00a0it’s kind of sad that this is happening right here in Hawaii… \u00a0\"\"10 years ago i would have let my truck problem bother me for days. \u00a0but now, i’m too busy to be bothered by anything. \u00a0i run away from negative things, and i just cling to the positive. \u00a0i have a small group of positive and happy people that i’ve been hanging out with ever since the lockdown. \u00a0and when we’re together, life is pretty dam good…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
