Long story. Cliff notes at end.
Well my drivers side outside car door handle broke on me a couple of months ago. I haven't had time to get around to fixing it until yesterday. So I took the door apart and found that the handle had broken(good that it wasn't the linkage). So I took everything apart and tried glueing it with gorilla glue to see if it would work for a while. Now mind you I've been having to open the passenger door and then lean across and open the drivers door then walk around to get in(I drive a little car so I can't scoot across the seats). Well the glue didn't work for shit.
So today I call the chevy dealer to see how much a new handle is. SIXTY-FIVE fucking dollars and they don't have one in stock. So I start calling around to junk yards and no one has the driver's side handle. Finally about the fifth one I called said he had a couple of metros but didn't know what was still on them. So I pack up some tools and head over to do some salvaging. (This is when I saw Canklesaurus Rex) Well wouldn't you know that all the driver's side handles were gone. So I took a passenger handle and disassembled it, then disassembled my handle. Then mixed the parts to get one working handle. So now I have a working handle again. YAY ME.

Car was broken,
Car is now fixed,
I am a mechanical genious,
You are all jealous of me.
