Be glad you did not sell it and the plug fell out on the way home to the buyer's house. If you think the possible buyer was a bit of a pain before, he would have been a huge ulcer on your butt then.
I hope it is not as bad as your first impression and easy to fix. Your wife needs to see what a nice ride you have built. Perfect for young family by the way. Keep in there plugging on, I am cheering for you.
