Timing Belt / Water Pump

What would you say your costs are then? It doesn't make sense to say yours are higher than $265 because your time is so valuable. If that's true then your making a mistake in doing the work yourself.
Even if your time is worth $100/hour (doubtful), and you gave up 5 hours of paid work to make the repair (even more doubtful) plus the part for a total cost of $565, then your cost per dollar of coverage is 100/565 = &0.18, an order of magnitude more than homeowner's insurance.

I can't speak for everyone else (okay, I can speak for Stu also), but my comment was meant to be taken with the most acidic, mocking tone possible.
