Must have taken the driver fucking hours with his little form where they detail all the damage on the vehicle when they recover it and make you sign for it so you cant claim they scratched it etc

Would have been easier to list what was ok:

Four wheels nuts. Check.
Gearknob, slightly scratched. Check.
Everything else. Fooked
