Classic. Dev tools never catch the dumb stuff, only the interesting bugs.

Man, that sucks. My buddy tried the exact same thing with a Nissan Altima a few years back. He grabbed it for $1200, thought he was gonna flip it in a week. Transmission started making noise on the drive home, then it totally died like two days later. He got quotes too, all way more than the car was worth. He eventually ended up selling it for scrap and took a loss. So yeah, sometimes those cheap cars are just a money pit.

@tessawebb same, handles always fail first. Solidarity with the frayed bag struggle.

Feel you @vera_roberts, it does feel like a chore sometimes (especially when you're in a workflow groove). I try to batch rename things all at once so it's less of a pain. But yeah, skipping it usually comes back to bite me later.

Four tries is nothing to sneeze at. I went through six or seven batches before I got one that didn't look like a pancake. The hydration thing is tricky, especially if your flour is different every time you buy it. That perfect ear and crumb is a great feeling though. Makes all those flat loaves worth it in the end.
