OMG!

Your cost of ownership must come in at thousands of dollars per mile when you consider depreciation.

I think a thread based on most expensive visit would be more interesting.

Most expensive: $1400 for replacing cab electrical engine and mechanism.
Least expensive: $500 for installing steel brake lines and swapping out some hard brake lines as well.
They charge $150/h
