My amazing Brother!

Well a while ago our little escort decided to start having some issues. As I drove to work one night the automatic seatbelt (the one that actually moves when you start the car and sometimes whacks you in the face if your head isn't "all the way in") didn't go all the way back and got stuck halfway on its track in the door. We needed to get it fixed ASAP b/c we were required to get a safety inspection for our utah registration. So I took it to an auto shop and they said that I needed to replace the whole thing (motor and track) and suggested that I go to the Ford Dealership to see if it was still under warranty and to get the part #. I went to Ford and they told me it wasn't under warranty AND that the part cost $650 new!!!! I only paid $1000 for my car and that was in 2005. So buying it new wasn't an option.
So what do I do? I call my reliable dad who has fixed countless things on the many escorts that our family has owned. His advice? Get it from a junk yard, and better yet call my little brother Sean b/c he probably knows all the junk yards in Provo! "Duh!" I thought, "why didn't I call him in the first place!" So I called him and low and behold he knows that perfect junk yard to get the part we need and shows up with tools to go and get it just a couple hours later. Like my dad, Sean just KNOWS how to take things apart and put them back together. We went to the junk yard he yanked the track and motor out of a beat up Escort, we came home and he ripped out the old one and put the new one in, all in less than an hour! What was the total cost of our repair? $10!!!! I guess if you include "labor" it was $18 b/c it was so cheap that we took Sean out to dinner at Red Robin afterwards. It was the least we could do since he saved us probably $700.
So basically I have an awesome brother who is so smart and so handy and so happy to help out (as long as it involves taking something apart!) :) I wish everyone could have such an awesome brother like me!
