He said my dent is like a little bigger than a baseball diameter.
The price sounds about right.

I don't think that is unreasonable. We had three smaller hail dents removed from the hood (about dime size) and that is about what our guy charged. I know where they were and I can't find ANY evidence that they existed. Worth every penny!

Crap well actually the means I'm not just paranoid cause people where following me. They are probably the same ones beaming voices into my head. I think an aluminum foil hat will deflect the radio waves being beams into my head LOL

Couple of important points here:

1) The aluminum foil hat helps.

2) It's not paranoia if the are REALLY after you.




I gotta be up early tomorrow so I am outa here. I will try and catch up with you guys over the weekend if I get a chance.

Do a road trip my way. I'll do a shoot for you, and schedule a plant tour for you too.

Gale that is def. do able. Would they allow pics of the ZL1 in production? I work three day weekends so have them off every other weekend. I'd love to be able to get up there sometime this summer after I get my ZL1. I'm more than willing to pay for a portfolio. If you have any retro gas stations or other kind of retro pic sites that would be a bonus.

No photos in the plant, people have lost their jobs over that.

I'll have to do some searching for a retro gas station. Other retro places, no problem. Good times!

YAWN......About to head out the door early this morn to stop by the dealer and test drive my car. They have been telling me "ya 5th IS a little hard to get into". I keep explaining that the neutral gate seems to extend too far. IDK what they dont understand about that. The other day I suggest to him possibly adjusting the block off plate. I think that may have made a light bulb go off so hopefully they adjusted it. If I go down there and the trans is still like it was when I dropped it back off Monday Im gonna be pissed. The first couple times I talked to them after I dropped it back off the guy was pretty much like "this is the way the trans is and there is nothing we can do about it". I was like "no way!! my old trans didnt feel like this and I have also never felt a manual trans do this!!" He also attributed my check engine light to "my tune dumping too much fuel at start up". I told him its been coming on since before I did any mods So basically Im gonna get the car back, the check engine light is gonna come on, again and Im gonna have to bring it back, AGAIN.
