Thanks.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
I probably should have clarified that the boot cost in dollars is what the garage bills the owner of the car. It is not the price the garage pays for the boots. There needs to be some markup by the garage to compensate for the fuss of handling (ordering, storing, not-losing, returning-wrong-or-defective, paying the bills on) the parts. So don't use the parts prices you find online to (female dog used for breeding pups^*) at the garage people. Just like you would not insult the chef at a restaurant before you eat, and for the same reasons.

*word filter. I wonder if I can enter the equivalent of "rooster" or "miserly"
