No one said mowing the lawn for an hour was worth $80. This all started as a
discussion of the cost of having an engine swap done. Some remarked that the
prices seemed high compared to what they spent doing it themselves. The only
point anyone was trying to make was that paying for a mechanic's labor is
expensive and as such any engine swap cost must take this into account.
