When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

What’s your plan for the fuel filler?
My sedan had a deleted rear filler so it ended up in the rh rear guard. No good at all!!!!
