Yea thats what I was thinking, too - that it was backwards.  But hey - South
Carolina (by the Georgia border) is a whole different world to me so I
didn't question it.  Usually when I break down on the side of the interstate
the average repair price is somehow magically always around $450.  So I was
pretty pleased with paying $265 and only $35 for the top of the line Knights
Inn next door! :)

Peace,
