Tyrus Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Have you ever exchanged your BBQ for trade. These two racks of baby backs are for my mechanic, oil change and tire rotation and a quick brake insp. Ribs trump currency 3 3 Quote
MacKenzie Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) That has to be a win win no matter how you look at it. You get the fun of cooking, keep your cash (spending on ribs is more fun than spending on car upkeep), and I bet you get the best service for your car, the mechanic gets a gorgeous meal, the satisfaction of doing a top notch job, and doesn't pay any tax on money earned.

ckreef Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Good looking ribs. I don't know what kind of car you have but if it's a synthetic change than you came out ahead for sure. Besides a barter system makes for better commerce. 1 Quote
Aussie Ora Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Nicley played Tyrus. You must be good mates with your mechanic. We have a beer economy down here .works great Outback Kamado Bar and Grill 1 1 Quote
Tyrus Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Posted January 18, 2019 My mechanic is trained on Mercedes, Bmw, Audi and VW. The shop won;t touch an American brand or Japanese car as regular work. His first job some years ago was to change out the timing belt on my Lexus as an after hours job and for the 5 hours labor it came to $150 that's $30/hr and it hasn't changed to date. I tip him well and always remember him at Christmas. Well, it was reported the ribs are gone, the family's happy and I don't have to crawl under the car in the winter, musta been the sauce. 2 1 Quote
Steve M Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 I think you did well on that exchange but hard to argue against his take either. 1 Quote
tekobo Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Yup, ribs trump currency alright. They look great @Tyrus. We paid cash to the guys who helped us unpack and move our KKs into place given we were taking them away from doing paid work for real clients. Your post reminded me that we still have not given them the KK dinner that we promised as their tip. Must rectify that or some real bad karma will be coming my way! 2 1 Quote
