What if the conversation went like this:
Don- your car sucks. i hate it. it sucks.
LED- sorry can't help it. i'm getting it fixed asap.
LED- you seem upset. what the f's wrong.
Don- wife's got cancer, dog died, they're taking the house (sobbing).
LED- sorry to hear that
Passengers- geez, that LED is a nice guy. we like him.
All i'm saying is there might have been an opportunity to make friends, not enemies.

Conversation didn't go like that. That would have been a reasonable adult conversation. Which is not what happened today.
Ron just got back from a ten day vacation.
LED: Hi Ron how was your vacation?
Ron: I can't believe that you haven't gotten this expletive fixed yet. (Voice gets louder) We provide a quiet car for YOU to ride in, it doesn't cost that much to just take it in a have it fixed. (Voice gets louder) Thomas is just too nice to say anything about it to you. I don't understand why you even bother turning the radio on, between that and the exhaust you can't hear a thing anyway.
LED: You're kidding right?
Ron: No I'm not kidding, it's inconsiderate. I can't believe how inconsiderate you are.
End Conversation
I've paraphrased, and I'm sure I didn't get everything in there that he said but that is a basically true accounting of the conversation. Sorry, he doesn't get a second chance, and I'm sure as hell not kowtowing to him.
