The repair shop replaced the DVD player yesterday with a new one. I didn't bother to ask what was wrong with the old one because they probably don't know. Nobody tries fixing things anymore. They had a new one in stock, so put it in.

The DVD player was a "freebie" in the first place, if there really is such a thing in car purchases. But six months ago, the dealer-installed DVD player stopped working. So they replaced it and it took a couple of tries but they finally got it working. Then, the car goes in for 30,000 mile service last week and, bam, the DVD player stops working again. Two replacement DVD players in 18 months. Something is wrong, dontcha think? Well, if I ever have to start paying for the replacement, then I'll be mad.
