    Installed "new" dash, huge crack develops, disappointment ensues.

    Got my dash swap done not too long ago. Today after work I hopped in, a lo and behold, a giant crack right above the cluster! So. Fucking. Weak.

    I'm more than a bit frustrated. Just when I finally get the interior mostly buttoned up, this goes down. Guess I'll be buying another dash, and swapping it. Again. I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight.

            1. Take grenade
            2. Pull pin from grenade
            3. Walk away from car while tossing it on the dash
            4. Enjoy ultimate satisfaction

                Shit happens, they're over 20 years old! Swap it again.
