I 'earned' my 'Dweb Cheapfuck' card this weekend.
After 20 years the handle on my hood cable broke.
It is not one of those parts that effects how the truck drives/operates so I jump online and find the best 'bargain'.
The part shows up in the mail and it is labeled as a Britpart manufactured part. I know the poor reputation of Britpart but again I think to myself, "Its a cable, what could go wrong?".
Well Britpart can screw up anything. First pull on the handle after installation and the cable separates from the handle. What a crappy crimp job. For another 50 cents they could do it right, but Britpart never seems to understand that.
Lesson learned.
