The Price Was Right

What do you do when you've been waiting all day to work on your car, and at 8:30 pm you discover you have six bolts but only five washers?


You punt.


The hole took two minutes to drill out, and the penny is the right size.


Sure, I could wait until tomorrow and buy another washer, but I've been itching to get the new running boards on the Bug. Besides, I think using a penny is fun...

Turns out the running boards came with mounting hardware, so my trip to Ace Hardware seemed unnessary. But one of the provided washers was too small. Thankfully, I had a penny with a hole in it.


Who says pennies aren't worth anything?
