Things like: * wife being pregnant - your anxiety about fatherhood - her mood swings * remodeling - your house all torn up - her nest all torn up * COVID - and all that goes along with it for both of you * work challenges * country in political turmoil * not having your car in tip top shape Any one of those things can be stressful and the number of them that adds to the list increases the stress exponentially (or so it seems).

It’s not crazy expensive, so buy new, get it painted by different shop, install it", - just DO IT. OR Try the humfrz method - |

That sucks itchi, to be honest I don't think I would have handled it as well as you are. It is not easy to accept someone else's fuck up when you paid for the job.

Some of you guys have PM me checkin on me. Thanks! I’m fine. I’ve been a bit dramatic on this situation. Here’s a quick pic of my car. I’ll prob do quick rant at member journal later when I got time to take a photo. Overall it looks good... just don’t look too close, cuz you can see the imperfection.
