Yet another of your evil plots to take over my cars when I'm frustrated
with them has failed. As my Timmy's "Roll Up the Rim" cups always say

A BIT pushy??? The dealership is closed at night silly, but the part is
ordered, this is Klaus, so no delays are acceptable. Apparently. 

And besides, the sooner that I fix this issue, the sooner I'll find out the
