I'll take part of that as aimed at me. It comes down to not touching what ain't yours without permission. It's called respect. Something the world could use a little more of.

Leaving notes on someone's windshield? C'mon, guys, it's someone else's car. It's like having someone walk up and pat your wife on the ***. Look, but don't touch. When my late wife and I first got married all we could afford was a little second floor apartment right on the main drag. All we...

Happy Birthday, Pete!

I can agree and disagree. Being a former dealership tech I can tell you a lot of warranty work I did was because of line workers. Loose bolts, pinched wires, bad welds, and the list goes on and on. Here I was, making half the money per hour having to redo the work of someone on the line...
