Hang in there. We all have days like that now and then. Just remember it's annoying to drop everything you try to pick up, but if you worked in a nitroglycern(sp) plant it'd be a whole lot worst. Just take some time away and start again later. :cheers:

Last time that happened to me, I fought with the car for 4 days and STILL had a box full of front end rebuild stuff staring at me. I sent the car to Van Steel and they took care of it! Although their labor prices were more than fair, I now have that much less money to buy stuff for improvements. I guess its a self-fulfulling prophesy: I won't be frustrating myself for a while! :smash:

It'll get better. It doesn't sound like you have a wife and two young kids
taking and hiding your stuff, then moving their dirtbike in the garage and
leaning it up against your front clip (wife did that). I can accept my own
stupid mistakes, but when other people mess my stuff up ... :mad :mad

Tomorrow is another day! Hang in there. I feel your pain. I'm STILL waiting for my car to be finished. We have everything solved except for some deceleration issues with the fuel map...
