Angry My car is fixed....but the tow truck diver messed it up more!!!

Well my car was stuck in second gear because one of the roll pins that connet the linkage to the shifter fell out. Well maita fixed it under warranty. After it was done they called me out into the shop and told me to check out what the tow truck driver did to the car. My cusco lip was broken in half, barely hanging onto the car with tape. I called my insurance company (they were the ones that sent him) and they told me that theyd fix it.

Hey ed, do you still wanna buy the lip?

Does anyone know which hose to cut for a catch can.

Disconnect the red wire, that should diffuse the bomb.

You first have to bypass it with the green wire.
