Narrative

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE, THE STRAP BROKE AND MY TAILGATE IS NOW SPRUNG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS SELL ME A NEW STRAP. I PURCHASED THE STRAP AND NOW ONE STRAP IS LONGER THAN THE OTHER STRAP. I HAVE THE OLD STRAP AND IT BROKE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I HURT MY HIP WHEN IT HAPPENED. *LA
