$.50 Screw
It’s Backwards Day:
Priceless: Me trying to figure out why my gearshift fell apart last night. I couldn’t find any spare screws. The headstalk was spinning on the stick. I moved it. The gear-button-thingie popped out (spronnng!) – followed by the spring. They were greasy. I wrapped them in a tissue and called Dave.
“Bring it on over,” says Dave, “Does it drive?”
I assured him that I could still press the greasy, headless gearshift stalk and put the car into drive.
Once at Dave’s, the whole thing seemed hopelessly… apart.
85$ - The cost of the Honda Mechanics to reassemble my gearstalk thingie.
1$ - The cost of the two replacement screws…

Their house is in Upper Derby. What do you think of that? I looked up plane tickets and from SD to Philly is only like $300 so I guess that's doable.
