Sherrock,
You are correct, my comments were off base. I did not major in tact or diplomacy in college.
After reading these posts, and looking at all of the pictures, I am begining to feel sorry for ddlatone. Using his own words, "wow, thanks for no help people." This is not correct, as almost everyone, except me, attempted to help him.
It appears that an unknown perpetrator not only stole his wiper arms, but replaced them with the wrong ones. What are the odds of this happening?
I'm sure that we will see this on an eposide of Unsolved Mysteries, hosted by Dennis Farina. After an arrest is made, the producers of Law and Order, Special Victims Unit, will use this as basis for one of their eposides. After all, ddlatone, bless his little heart, does seem to be special.
He will have the last laugh on us, as he will sell his story for boatloads of money to Deanna Sclar, author of Auto Repair for Dummies.
Auto Repair For Dummies is indispensable for anyone who is tired of nodding and smiling at the incomprehensible mutterings of your mechanic, only to end up shelling out money for repairs that you neither fully understand nor always need. This easy-to-understand guide is also for you if you:
Don't have the vaguest idea of how a car works.
Can't identify anything you see under the hood of your vehicle.
Are tired of other people assuming that you aren’t capable of handling repairs yourself.
Don't want to feel helpless in an emergency.
Are tired of being ripped off because of your own ignorance.
Sooner or later this saga will end.
