Bubba Rant ...
Okay, I've extended enough in the way of professional courtesy to Bubba, but I know if I see him I'm gonna do something to him ...something bad. 
It wasn't enough that the exhaust was a real butch job with many patches and extra clamps in the middle of a pipe with nothing attached to it ...no, that was just funning around.
It wasn't enough that he rebuilt the engine and didn't have all 8 spark plugs handy, so one of them came from who knows what. Naw, that wasn't impressive at all.
It wasn't enough that the car had many nut eating animal nests all over the place (and I'm still finding them), naw that's just plain neglect.
It know that the power steering pump being lose was just for posterity's sake (after all, it is optional).
Figured it would be easier to just dye the leather seats rather than trying to clean them, sure anyone would easily come that deduction.
His skills with the tools to notch a big hole in the console to make room for a stereo that is just above cheesy because the factory unit was ...not well equiped?
Naw, that wasn't enough, but to find that my engine mounts had the bolts in them but the nut was only on far enough to cover the very end of the bolt -- that takes the cake.
Sorry, some times it just gets me to see the short cuts that people take rather than doing the job right. Is it ignorance, ineptitude or just plain laziness? Dunno ...but it doesn't make me any less irritated.
Thanks for listening.

I've seen worse Bubbas. The guy living up the road from me painted his Eclipse black... with spray paint.... outside on a windy day. He also attempted to tint his windows but half of it is bubbling up horribly
