I can't take it any more

Well yeah. The car didn't pass inspection, and it was due to two leaky rear brake cylinders. Pep Boys wanted $475 to replace them and finish the inspection, which included about $60 for the sticker and $50 to replace a burnt out fog light. I told them to go fuck themselves and that I would pick up the car and drive it out uninspected.

So J's kid wrenches at a nearby tire place, so he offered to sticker the car for free and fix the cylinders later at next opportunity.

Next opportunity was Monday night, but yesterday, while leaving work, I hear a scraping noise from the rear wheel whenever I hit the brakes.

The kid lied about how the work was done. Instead of going to his buddies' garage, he did the work on the side of the road, at night, using my scissor jack to lift the car.

And I figured this out last night, in the parking lot at work, finding out that two of my lug bolts are stripped.
