Ok guys I gotta real hard one for ya:
Last night my car broke down on the freeway, and the mechanic called and told
me it was the Timing Belt, but he couldn't be sure unless he opens the case
and checks it. I have already thrown 400 bucks into this car, and thus
surpassed the blue book value on the car, so if it is more than the timing
belt I was just gonna scrap the car anyways. I was going to be buying a new
car in a few weeks anyways, but I was gonna keep this car for a second car and
get rid of my old 83 Honda Accord. So here is my conundrum:
I could:
A. Pay the mechanic 79 bucks to pop open the timing cover and see if it was
just the belt. If its more than the timing belt, scrap the car.
B. If it is just the timing belt, I could pay the 179 bucks to fix the timing
belt and thus keeping the car running for a few more months.
C. Fix whatever the problem might be (IE: fix the engine, or the water pump),
and pay out the cash (pretty much just lighting money on fire).
D. Scrap the car completely and figure out a way to get a new car in under 4
days.
I know you are all smart people, which is why I bring this question to you.
Oh and BTW...
Does anyone know how to bring a background only app to the front so I can
display a dialog and get the users response, then put the background app back
in the background?
Merry Christmas,
John D. Farmer
