Rare to get any car-related repairs done in an hour. I must’ve surely fucked something up.

I hope there was space. :)

I once had to replace an alternator on a Peugeot 308, ended up cursing and got a cold (was working in a snow storm as the car was needed next day) because it was impossible to fit my hands where I had to work, so everything was super slow.
