I woke up at 7am today, absolutely fuming, angry/annoyed!
So, I had an issue with the brakes on the rear of my Vauxhall Chevette (I don't actually own a Vauxhall Chevette).
A woman I know suggested/recommended a friend of hers who 'works at the local Audi main dealers' (I don't know her. And that is not advice I would take TBH knowing how much main dealers charge for stuff. And why Audi for a Vauxhall anyway?)

Next thing I know I'm being presented with a bill for replacing the seals in the rear brake cylinders (a simple job which I could do on my driveway in about an hour at most, with a refurb kit that should cost a tenner at most).
They are wanting £645.00 for 40+ hours of work!
So I'm angrily trying to get them to justify charging so much, and the bloke is telling me that the car had to be up on the ramps for more than a couple of days while they waited for parts, so they had to charge me for all that time waiting!!!!!!!
GRRRRrrrrrr........I woke up absolutely seething with rage! The bastards. How dare they try and get away with stiffing me for that massive amount???
Probably because there are actually idiots out there that would pay the money without question FFS.
So it took me quite some time to calm down and convince myself that I was angry over a dream, about a car I don't own, a woman I don't know, a garage that doesn't exist, and a bill for work that never happened....etc etc.
I had a pale blue "shove-it" just like your photo (except with more rust).
