Default why does Kadron sound so much like crap?

grrr

did some work on my bug. two things needed seeing to, firstly, the trivial
ordeal of putting in a fuel gauge (VDO, god bless em germans) for the first
time in ages now i don't have to measure the level in the tank by watching
the miles, but i digress,

kadron exhaust, stock ex brazil (i won't say what the almighty should do to
them) after filing banging, grinding beating and bending, i got half the
points alligned. couldn't attach one bolt (on the preheaters, no biggie)
because the idoits (i know how to spell idiots, but it seems rude calling
them that) didn't bother tapping the hole, and i don't have that particular
tap. alas, after three hours i had molded that one year exhaust into
something that almost fits and with some persuasion in the form of a large
rubber mallet and choice swearwords from 4 different languages, it lazily
popped half into place, which i consider good enough.

now i'm just dreading the inevitable reality of having to get another one
when this papier mache piece of rubbish starts rusting through sometime next
month.

besides i cut my fingers and my lip in a bizarre torch in mouth and rubber
hammer incident. not a happy day for the diy car surgeon.
