The one about Tiffany's $80 for 8 gallons of gas bill.....

Ok here is a picture of a bill that we paid just two days ago for Tiffany's car....the day before Tiffany said that she was pulling out of the garage and as soon as it got out of the garage the car died on her. @ First she thought it was the battery...but the radio was still on, and a few other things suggested that it was not the battery...and I mean as soon as you turned the key it would die...so you could not even see any warning lights that would come on...so we called USAA one of the greatest companies on this planet...and asked them to tow it to a garage (totally free mind you) that Tiffany's church members said was the best and most reasonable in town.....we followed the tow truck to the garage and dropped off the car only to wait for a phone call to find out what was wrong.....(mind you we had just spent $400 on a few other fixes just 3 weeks before)....so I get a phone call from the garage...and here is the conversation:

Garage Owner: Mr. Hollums?

Me: Yes, this is D.G.

Garage Owner: Well, I have run all the test I can on your car. I mean I really had a hard time finding out what could be the problem...and finally I found out the root of the problem...pause...

Me: Yeah, so what was wrong with it?

Garage Owner: Well, after al the detective work...the only thing we found that was missing in the car was....(long pause).... gas.

Me: (Dumbfounded silence).......(a little more of the same)...Your @#$%*!% me!?

Garage Owner: Nope that is what is wrong with the car...it was out of gas (laughter filling the phone in the background of the garage)(I think they were all standing around listening to the call...I might have even been on speaker phone, heh heh) (please understand this garage is one of the best places on the earth, I would have put me on the speaker phone too, hew)

Me: Sorry, I normally don't cuss I am a pastor..But man...I can't believe that...you mean that my wife's car wouldn't start because she did not fill it up with gas?

Garage Owner: Yep, that is the case...so I tell you what...I will put $8 of gas in there for you and with the $68 inspection fee your total comes to $76 and your car is ready for you to pick it up.

Me: Ok, thank you!

So, I proceeded to call my wonderful, beautiful, lovely, genius wife to tell her that she needs to be careful about where she gets her gas from because the last place she went cost her $76 for 8 gallons...and I knew the gas prices were bad...but it took real talent to find it that high of a price, heh..... I never gave her too hard of a time...and when I told her she thought in all seriousness real hard assuming that she did fill up with gas..."That couldn't right!!!"...and then she remembered..... that one fateful night (exactly two nights ago) that she told me she was going to go get gas..and never did....heh heh...

So, we laughed it off and got the car...and all is well, but I just had to share with you the fun story of the Hollums House....and to let you all know that one of the best garages in Cold Spring is Moore's Garage for your "Complete Auto and Truck Repair" 781-6060 State Rt. 546 in Cold Spring, KY!

Yall have a great weekend..and I circled the bill for you to see the actual costs.... And she even gave her Sr. Pastor the right to use the story in a sermon..so I am assuming the same is true for any and ALL of you too...let us always not only KUTPs....but lets keep our eyes on the gas tank level too. Love yall and God bless yall!
