U sell transmissions?

Funny phone call from someone that doesn't listen well:

"I needs a transmission for a 97 Caravan."
"Sir, I'm sorry, we only sell engines. I can't help you."
"Wha - huh? Well, wut a engine cost?"
**I check** In the background I hear a few people talking, "How you sell a engine but no transmission? Dis guy lyin'."
"Sir, it will cost XXXX.XX."

The guy replies, without any pause or hesitation, "Do dat cum wif a transmission?"

"No."

**Click**

Sometimes, I thank God for the clicking noise.

Things Are Looking Up

Things are definitely looking up for me. In a way, my mechanic problems are turning into a blessing - instead of splitting profit on vehicles, I'm simply paying a guy by the job now. He's doing the work faster, better, and for less. I've sold the guy a ton of engines in the past for his customers, and I don't know why I didn't think to use him for my stuff. Irregardless of past details, it's a huge blessing to have his company do work for me.

Also, Dad and I are thinking of getting into remanufacturing engines. We handle a lot of newer, high dollar engines (late model Jag, Mercedes, BMW) and are pretty much wasting the "core" engines (some of these rebuildable Jag engines are worth $1500 bucks for the old core!). On Jag engines, you can literally quadruple your money - it's worth it, if you don't mind sitting on the engine for a while.

Today, I ordered several books on accounting and bookkeeping. I think we can cut our company accountant loose and save significant money by working more closely with our CPA and doing more in house... but I have to convince everyone else of this.
