Gimme a break.

So I take the truck into the shop, sweating bullets the whole time. What if it's the cat? How much am I willing to spend to keep this thing on the road? Then I get the call: "We cleared the computer, and nothing came up - there weren't any stored codes, either. Come pick it up - no charge." Woo Hoo!

Today I took the truck in for a smog re-test - the guy didn't even charge me (well, $8.25 for the cert, but whatever)! An hour later I'm ready to head over to AAA to renew my registration.

Oh wait. The rear passenger window (which the shop rolled down for some reason) isn't rolling up. Oh wait, it's sliding loose in the channel. So, back to the shop it goes.

Shit.
