860　What a waste 白費(fèi)力氣

Then I discovered the battery was dead and the starter was shot, so I fixed those too. Days later I proudly handed the woman her keys saying, “Now your car is good for many more miles.” “Thanks,” she said. “All I care is it runs long enough to make it to the dealer. I'm trading it in tomorrow.”
