Are you freakin kidding me?

I subscribe to an Australian RV site..Big Rigs and they are talking about the cost to have a large bus with a blown engine to Perth..."Thought I had got away with it, when the oil pipe cracked, and I lost my oil. Sounded fine after the repairs. But as engine gremlins are prone to do, the little ****** waited until the ole Nullabor before springing into action. Yesterday was a great day, rolling like a champion. Today within 20 klicks There came can awful noise, something is brokey for sure. Could be a piston skirt, small end, or something else. Sigh! The tow to Perth, special rate is 6k. We are 100 klicks east of Belladonia. Then into a workshop. I have been told TW Mechanical at Naval Base near Rockingham is fair. Anyone else have any recommendations please."

6 THOUSAND dollars? and one the commenters is talking about a $12,000 tow bill. I did the exchange rate and the Aussie dollar is only one cent under a CDN buck. Who has that kind of money?
