Default I hate new cars!!!

Sorry about the rant but my wife has a 04 pt looser and I am doing a brake job on it, the rear shoes are gone. Took two different trips to the auto store to get the right shoes, tore down all the brakes to find out they are the wrong shoes, pt's that year had two different size shoes, finally got the correct shoes ordered yesterday. Got home today, tore the brakes apart again, put everything back together and the brake drums won't go back on because the shoe is too thick. Brake adjuster is all the way in. Now have to get the drums turned in order to get them back on. I have never bought a shoe where the factory drum had to be turned in order to fit.........this is turning out to be a pain in my but. I would rather work on the A any day!
