That is absolutely unreal. I'm pretty sure I'd be able to tell you within a few hundred what I paid for my truck (and it's not a recent purchase). I can't imagine being off by $25k

I've always thought a basic vehicle maintenence (along with basic personal finance) should be mandatory in high school. I recall having to take a grade 10 (or 9 maybe?) home ec as well as an industrial arts course. The IA class would have been much better served teaching basic vehicle maintenance than using a wood lathe, IMO.
