Was getting my clogged cat replaced and as usually was watching and talking with the mechanic about this and that. While lining up the new cat on the car his grip slipped and dropped the piece from 5 ft up. Then he just picked it up and decided to continue where he left off.
I said "Uhh your still putting that thing in? I'd feel a lot more confortable if you'd replace it with one that hasn't dropped".
I mean. cat's are pretty fragile, last thing i wan't is one that has a few cracks in it already and will goin in a few months.
Anyhow they ended up replacing it with a new - undropped- one. moral of the storey is ALWAYS watch those mechanics :/

 

only problem with that is, they just turned around a put your dropped cat back on the shelf, in fact the "undropped cat" might have been dropped before just that you didnt know it. so i fixed the problem altogether, what cat?!?!

 

I believe that is an excellant idea, however, I doubt that you can find many mechanics/shops that would go for it.

 

Yea, usually its, "umm cough cough insurance issues......umm yea you cant come into/near the shop", lol
