My apologies, seriously, I'm not trying to be a PITA to anyone. But, I had another poor experience recently when I purchased an item. A completely different situation having nothing to do with cars, but I just get tired of it. So I'm just trying to empathize with you.

Maybe I've reached the "curmudgeon stage." And Patrick can likely empathize with me there, since he's been at this stage for awhile now. I say "likely" because I'm not sure he could show empathy.

I appreciate the thought. As this point I want to move on. A process that should have been fun was a bit frustrating. This industry never heard the expression, under promise and over deliver.
