Might of found some tires. I really don't want to lose them, but I wouldn't ask money for my worn Invo's.

I have a $25 floor jack for $10 if anyone needs it, bought it for oil changes @ my old apartment and don't want to take it with me.

Koenreich, should've contacted your insurance company and refused to take the keys. If the jobs not done right, don't accept it.

Good question, 10,000 or so? Not dead yet, first wear bar. Honestly thinking about keeping and tossing them back on next summer. I've put it to them .

I'm going to pick up tires tomorrow as of now, so good, I'm keeping my babies .

Joe, I didn't receive my keys until after the paperwork was done. The mirror just didn't catch my eye at first and I was inspecting the passanger side for cosmetic defects. Other than the mirror the passanger side was fine. All the over spray was on the drivers side, which I did not feel until I was home.

I did call both Elite Auto Body and the insurance company after 2 minutes of driving and they both said "Dont worry we warranty the work for life."

I'm more upset with the fact I'll be back in a rental after less than a day. If I'm told it's done, I want it to be DONE. You're right though, I should have looked the car over better before leaving with it. I guess I was so caught up with the excitement of getting it back.

No doubt, I used to work @ a very reputable shop and we'd do the second hand work. Customers would be anxious, accept the car, then realize a minute later how crappy the work was and we'd end up correcting it.

It sucks that it happens like that. I'll definitly be a lot more picky about the work the next time they say it's "done".

That's the best part about bracket racing. Somebody could have a 800 hp car. If they don't know how to drive it they will get beat by the Geo Metro.

Umm, let me guess. You crossed the finish line first.

In other news, I have discovered why turning 30 is way better than 16, 18, 21, and 25. It's called Dirty Thirty for a reason. The answer is so classic that the Ancient Romans knew it. In Roman Numerals 30 = XXX.
