I took my car to Midas Muffler to take advantage of a special
offer on a front end alignment.  They got it up on the lift and
then told me I needed a couple of hundred dollars worth of front
end work before they could align it.  I said I'd wait.  I took
my car to a trusted mechanic who aligned the front end for me and
said there was nothing wrong with it.

A year earlier I took my car to another Midas Muffler place to
get a new muffler.  They told me my ball joints needed to be 
replaced.  $108.  I fell for it that time.  I had suspicions then
that they really didn't need replacing.  Now I'm sure of it.

"Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."
An old Indian said that.

"I ain't goin' back to Maggie's farm no more."  Bob Dylan said that.

"I ain't goin' back to Midas Muffler no more."  I said that.
