Yeah...  I guess I fit in this category!  Took my lawn tractor to the repair shop after trying to fix it myself.  Guess they will charge me with the "stupidity" tax!  Worst part is they didn't want the bag of parts and pieces I collected... ::)

I just keep saving all the extra parts Pflueger puts in the reels because when I get enough of them I am just going to build an extra reel WHO SAYS THIS MOOK AIN"T MECHANICALLY INCLINED

I did that once with an outboard motor. The mechanic wasn't pleased. As Gotta love It said, I'm pretty sure I was charged with a "stupidity tax".

Outboard problem: goes off when you reduce throttle

Raul tries to fix problem starting by dissasembling gas pump ........

Problem not fixed

Raul takes outboard to the mech

Mech checks outboard, problem not in gas pump, problem: itsy bitsy hose that goes into carburator cracked allowing air to enter.

Mech fixes itsy bitsy hose = 2 dollars

Mech replaces gas pump Raul tried to fix

Stupidity tax = 300 dollars !  :o

Is that when you bought your 500 dollar gas can?? ;D

Nope, that was when I went to Academy to purchase a 3 gal gas tank ....... and walked out with a Calais 100A reel and a bunch of baits I wasn 't going to buy. Don 't ask me how it happened but it happened.  :-?

Raul,

     Do you have Academy's and such to shop at in Mexico?   We know you have the Japanesse phonebook for bait shops down pat.

Nope Matt, we don 't have Academy in Mexico, I go to MacAllen every 6 months to pick up stuff I ordered on-line and to shop ( mostly clothes for my kids & nephews ).

Update on my tractor starter issue:  $204 to fix the starter ($125 for the starter and the rest was for labor).  I was right on the starter issue but I still couldn't fix it myself and I did take them a bag of parts...  LOL

Oh well, guess they felt really sorry for me and didn't charge me the stupidity tax!  :)
