Sorry man... I think it was still funny enough watching me try driving, keeping my hood AND hat on, and keep the car running, and scanning for cops... not to mention freezing my @$$ off!!! :gripe: :banghead:

You'd be correct...  :outtahere: :tongue:

The car looks amazing... even someone wearing a helmet while driving will look cool in it! :tongue:

You could always just get some saran wrap, though...

That's a whole 'nother story in itself.... turns out, the body shop screwed up the passenger side A pillar... I'll have to take a picture to show how it's screwed up, but basically, until that's fixed, the windows can't go in...

I'm hoping to get the car up to the shop on Saturday so they can start working on it... so, we'll see what happens! :dontknow: :gripe:

 :bs: How could they screw that up? Pay that kind of $$$, and wait for the finished car and you can't put your windshield in, that's  :bs:, I know you tend to be a bit timid at times Mike, do you want ole uncle Jim to come up?,lol. Man I hope they get this done so you can be at Carlisle so I can see that blue b!tch or I may head your way for sure,lol. Good Luvk buddy  :banghead:

HAHA WSM!! Trust me, timid isn't the word to use here... more like homicidal!! :gripe: :gripe:

I got to ***** out the guy that did the paint job today over the phone, and the owner of the shop doesn't even know what's coming when I get up there... go in all nice and calm, and hope it stays that way. If things turn for the worse, I've already got a lawyer lined up to handle it!! :thumbs: :boxer: :spank:

Trust me WSM... I ain't scared of voicing myself on this one... I had the guys from the glass company on my property and READY to install the windows when we found this.... I'm not letting it die quietly!! :mad:
