I worked as a Pipefitter's tradesman for a few years. One day I was told to drive the work truck with supplies to a job site. While driving, found out that the lights didn't work and the wipers didn't work. When I got to the jobsite I mentioned this to the foreman and he said that one of the boss's sons was working on it. Apparently the boss's son was working on "re-wiring" everything and never got back to it.
Another time I took another truck loaded with parts and headed to a jobsite, when I got to a 4-way stop, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, I started pumping away, but nothing. I just sailed through the intersection with a few cars looking on. I finally got it stopped on the side of the road. Apparently the son was working on the brakes of this truck too.
I would've throat punched somebody

In the 90s I worked for Chandler floor and wall
We did high end construction marble, hardwood,tile and carpet
He has a whole fleet of these bastards
1970s/80s B200 maxi pad vans
He never paid more than like 500.00 for one some were actually free
We'd grossly overload them with materials
The standard shift clutches wouldn't last at all
We ran the 3 speed automatics with 318 or 360s
At best 10 miles per gallon 8 usually with several thousand pounds of whatever.
He kinda had a point new vans wouldn't hold up to the abuse either
He'd been in business 30 years at that time.
So we honestly didn't know if we'd make it home that day or not.
They were generally pretty good but lots of electrical and transmission problems
but sometimes the steering boxes would shear off the frame from the weight I guess.
Happened to me I was only going 40 making a slow turn left steering box let go and tore the wheel out of my hands I slammed into the guard rail on the right.
