Of course. It's called Mother Murphy's Law.
"Murphy's Law applies also to itself. That's why sometimes, somehow, usually when you least expect it, everything turns out right."
I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Holy crap!
I thought it was a law that a car repair had to be at least 3 figures!
Time to celebrate!

I presume you are just jesting along with Bob? If not "loonie" is a nickname for the Canadian Dollar coin which features a loon (the bird) on it.

Woo Woo! In my case, about a year or two ago, it was the trannie, which is hard, in a stick shift. But we do still have them. Signalled by a car that suddenly refused to go in reverse. Then rebuilt trannie #1 they put in turned out not to have a 4th gear (I have a 5-speed, or am supposed to; 6, if you include reverse!) (they did find this out before they gave me back the car).
