I bought a chainsaw to cut away a tree that had fell blocking my car in.
A fellow mechanic once said to me, "If you need to borrow a thing more than twice, it's time to buy one". I had borrowed the neighbors chainsaw twice before. Twice over a 25 year span aint so bad and I know he would have loaned it again, but that previously stated philosophy has stuck to me. Lets hope the saw will start if/when I need it again.
