This has got to be the king of coincidence. Either that or the Golden
State Parkway hasn't been cleaned in decades, and must be totally littered
with lost car parts. A bolt that even fits and works? This will
definitely be added under Grapes of Wrath Repairs.

Oh, so you're the DPO! Congratulations on the good fortune, and on the
continued good luck in that it never fell apart later while you were
driving it. Some people just live right I guess.
