To be honest, the repair part is fine, but the detailing part was terrible. There was still tons of overspray on my car and they did a bad job cleaning it so I stayed like 30 more minutes cleaning it. But I can't complain... I had a $1000 deductible, and they ate $900 of it.

I only had to pay $100.

Yeah, I used to work there which is why they helped me out with my deductible I'm sure. My old boss probably felt bad since he's the clown who laid me off.

Yeah, it looks pretty good. Only bad thing is the headlights are literally aimed at the fricken ground. Are these lights on the 'Balts easily adjustable? I was going to take a look at it later today...

I don't think it'd be that funny unless....

1. You know what happened to the MS3.
2. You know how much I hate hatchbacks. (lol focus)
3. You know that originally the car would be red. (white paint job)

They are incredibly easy. The entire process is in your manual. It requires a hex key, a wall, and 25 feet.

Excellent. I'll fool around with them later. Thanks!

Total cost of the repair was around $6,200 (a little over). I'm just glad to have her back now.

i'm assuming they'd have an idea already of what happened to the ms3 and of course every car starts off as red and is then repainted

So my co-worker seems to think that nascar drivers have more talent than ken block and anyone else who races on a road course. He says it takes more talent to drive next to someone at 200+ mph in a circle. He also thinks that he could drive like ken after about a month of practice! What do you guys think.

yep, they are more for re-assurance than anything, now i just have to go all weekend worrying..

Oh and get this, I emailed them tuesday night when they weren't here yet, asking if they have any information, never got a email. So I emailed them again tonight around 7pm, asking them for tracking number, or a refund. And they got back to me within an hour saying their info says they were shipped friday and I received on Monday, which is BS. and they never gave me a tracking number.

gr3y - My speech for rallyracers wedding, well I knew him since like 2 or 3 so I just talked about a couple short things about me and jeff, how close we were, how a like we are and how we were bff. Then a story about meeting his wife. then how we all got along and that she was great. had a few jokes, I cried during it and then had like 6 ladies wanting my **** that night. its on video... but it was pretty damn good. you want it to be sincere though. those on the fly speeches seem to suck ass. OH yeah dont get drunk then do it, maybe have a few but dont be drunk and say it.

Dave - yeah he would be nothing close to ken block in a month. I bet he couldnt even get drifting around cones in a month right. 200mph next to someone only requires a firm grip on the wheel. The area that nascar really takes skill is drafting and dodging wrecked cars.

Funny thing is... if you go back 20 (30? or 40? I don't know) pages and see that I was trying to hook up with this girl... well back then she had a boyfriend of like almost 7 years or some crazy long **** like that. She's been single for a little while now and last night (Wednesday night) we finally kissed. She's the Maid of Honor in my buddies wedding on Saturday... I am the Best Man. Today and tonight when we talked on the phone... it was for almost 4 hours total if you add up the 5 conversations.

Anyways... I have to house-sit for my buddy when they are on their honeymoon. She's spending the night Saturday night and if all goes according to planned... all the nights after that.

Basically... been waiting a long time for this. The wedding will be fun... but I know that if I knock the speech out of the park... she won't be able to wait until the wedding is over to jump on my nuts. Saturday night (after the wedding when her and I drop off my buddy and his wife at the Hilton down by the airport) can't come soon enough.

Get airbags so you can park your car cockeyed like that d-bag Audi driver.

well the cheap route is springs, the eibachs seem to do great for rallyracer. If coilovers fit though they are nice and can be adjustible but they will cost you. I hear they dont fit the TC right though...
