Fun fact, they could have very easily filtered out most of the sound of the vuvuzelas but choose not to. It's just one note so it was super easy. I was in college at the time and I made a simple filter that decreased its level significantly. I believe it was a bflat5 an its harmonics that needed to be filtered out. Never understood why they had it so loud in the broadcast.

Because they still compete with other brands. They want to be the first thing you think of when you get thirsty. When I pitched advertising for small businesses I was in and they were skeptical of the added expense, I would say "if coke and McDonald's need to advertise, So do we"

It seems odd that the price went back up to the original 4200. Too much of a coincidence. Is it possible that there were taxes and disposal fees not included in the $3704?

But either way, it sucks but that is close enough to the original estimate that I wouldn't be too surprised by it.

The car is only 3 years old, why didn't you check if it's covered under warranty? $4200 repair on a 3 year old car is way too much.
