"suits me just fine!" is what I was thinking as I entered my credit card info to pay for my most recent order from a WELL respected online vendor who deals exclusively in model cars

Where I work, English is NOT a lot of the drivers' predominant language and they regurgitate words they commonly hear or see into nonsensical sentences. You'd be surprised at some of the descriptions I have to interpret into understandable conditions.

Where I work, we travel to different delivery hubs and maintain a fleet of vehicles. This morning I was assigned a work order that said "Diag driveability" which is usually followed by the driver's concern and/or complaint. This work order stated nothing more. When I got to the station where the vehicle was located, there was a hand-written repair tag that the driver submitted with the keys. It read "needs text drive; something wrong" Even though I'm now off work and home, I'm still trying to find out what a "text drive" is.... This is almost as good as the repair tag I got a few months back that said "vehicle unsafe, smells like brake fluid is low"
