You're midway through replacing your thermostat, USPS shows up and doesn't deliver the thermostat as scheduled. Fuck me.

Stock up on parts before disassembly. Don't forget the 7 P's.

I'm not relying on this car to get anywhere otherwise I wouldn't have started the job without the parts.

Ah, fair enough. And here I sit with car parts that I'm not ready to install yet.

Seriously.. I have this running fantasy to hunt down and torture those design engineers that didn't think about serviceability in commonly failing/replaceable parts.

Pro tip: Don't take anything apart until you have the correct parts in hand. That is usually when Murphy will decide to enforce his law.
