Little frustrations that get dealt with when updating a used vehicle.
Today I brought my “new” truck to the mechanic for brakes. At one time I would have been all over this job. But no more. Anyway I was informed that it would be a week before he can do the job.

What kind of nitwit packs porcelain in the same box as heavy metal items without anything other than bubble wrap?
