Every spring the lawnmower doesn’t start. Every year we buy a $2.50 spark plug and that fixes it. This year it didn’t.
In our continuing effort to drag America’s economy out of its doldrums, we bought a new lawnmower. And once again proved that on a sunny day a Miata is as good as a pickup truck.
Started down, went up, back down, still down.

Last year I broke down and bought a new mower. I went through about 3 plugs in one season and finally said that’s enough.
Unfortunately, I had to haul it home in my truck…
We bought the cheapest one we could find at Home Depot that mulches – $179. Figure if it last 10 years like the other one, that works out to $18 a year (a little over twenty bucks if you factor in the spark plugs.)
