You're making me glad that I don't live on the Continent, Piwoslaw! Over here, you do get some chancers selling off parts for silly prices (no offence
) but overall prices tend to be reasonable. Breaking used cars tends to be the most economical way of doing things, especially if you're planning an engine swap of some kind.
As for today's annoyances, I've not left the house all day and so have avoided the ugliness of humanity
