    Well .. atleast the Maverick isn't in there ... dropped it off at the body shop for straightening and painting. Should take about 14 days.. He promised an immaculately perfect car ... we shall see! :D

    Luckily he only has a 4-bay shop and my car is occupying one of them. No glass in it so he has to keep it inside. Keeping a bay tied up for too long costs him money so he has additional incentive to complete it besides me giving him the his final payment ... :D He is an authorized State Farm and Liberty Mutual Insurance shop so he has alot of vehicles coming and going ..

    Hey...I figured:

    2 weeks = 2 years.

    If I get it done in 6 years.....that is really like 6 weeks in "body shop" years. :)

    Dan...I also took it to the shop with no glass...no paint.....so it had to sit inside and tie up a bay as well. I hope your situation is better than mine ended up. I did end up with a beautiful paint job IMO.

    You got that right Maverick Guy!!! What time is it??? Do the cows know what time it is if we had DST?? The 3 drive-in movies in the state might go out of business if we had DST. Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody care?
