Why do I feel such redemption when some other poor soul has trouble with
his DP parts?

Misery loves company?
You know, this friend of mine was riding down in TJ when his Duc got nabbed
by a gang of desperados with a chop shop. He followed the Lo-Jack signal
to a warehouse, and all that was left was a greasy dumpster filled with Lo-Jacks
and some third-rate carbon fiber with rusty allen-head hardware.
My buddy tried to sell some of the crappy rear huggers to get enough money
for a bus ticket back, but everyone on the street kept giving him the crossed
index fingers and "No DeePeee!! No DeePee!!"
Desperate and alone, our hero scraped up enough change for dinner and met
a mangy one-eyed Labrador that would become his constant companion.
My friend decided to share some of his re-frieds with the pooch and scraped
the beans into an DP handguard. Miffed, the hound pee-ed on the poorly
finished carbon fiber and stalked off, never to be seen in the ghetto again.
A true story... don't laugh, it could happen to you...
