It shouldn't be against the law to kill unscrupulous mechanics

And NO, I'm not kidding. I've been having serious trials and tribulations with my 1995 Toyota 4Runner. Being on a fixed income, I tried to go the economical route and get a transmission from a salvage yard. Comes with a warranty, yada yada yada. I'm not going to go into great detail here, cause it'd just piss me off all over again, but let's just say that I've had two different transmissions installed by two different fry cooks posing as mechanics, neither of whom was competent, paid both of them for the installs, and been totally and completely screwed over. I've been taking my Ativan liberally, and it's just barely stopping me from expressing my rage and disappointment in a visceral, violent way on the dirtbags I've been dealing with. Come Monday, I'm probably going to let my fists do the talking for me. I'm a genuinely nice guy, and go out of my way to help others, and try and accomodate vendors that service my vehicles, etc. Unfortunately, bad people naturally mistake my kindness for weakness and take advantage of me. I sometimes let it go, but now I'm on a very tiny fixed income, and cannot afford to get ripped off. I've tried reasoning with the main culprit, and in two days if he doesn't do exactly what I tell him to in regards to repairing my vehicle, I'm going to bring pain and punishment to bear, and see what effect that has. While I know it's not the right thing morally, I cannot in good conscience let myself get taken advantage of. Ever. This is my new philosophy, and I intend to take swift, brutal action from here on out. I'm so hurt and upset that these crooks are forcing me to take measures that I really don't want to, but I see no alternative.
