1.) discovered bolt in tire
2.) wrong rear shocks sent
3.) stripped end link bolt
4.) wrong serpentine belt sent (edit: good news, this was an instance of occram’s razor: I’m an idiot and misread the belt routing. That job is done.
This is what I deserve for not waiting until everything broke.
On the plus side I replaced a noisy belt tensioner.

Could be worse. You could own a Tercel.

1) GM backordered a/c line I ordered for customer, 2nd one on same car in 1 wk.
2) Outside shop calls to see when parts he only PRICED this morning are arriving.
3) Somebody hit my car, chipped a chunk of paint. Its tri-coat hard to touch up.
4) Tree limb feel on my back fence and broke an 8' section.
I can relate. Its been that type of day.

“1.) discovered bolt in tire”
Last month, I discovered the hard way that I had a large, wooden splinter in one tire and at least one other tire showing dry rot on the sidewalls.
While I miss the $550, I have 4 new tires and road hazard warranty.
Sooooo...yay.

That would suck as the car hasn’t moved for well over 24 hours. I’d take that as a sign from God.

They screwed up the dash installation on my car. They didn’t even bother with a tach.
