I took it to the shop last night to discuss options for this paint job, and he started out by saying he doesn't know what I want him to do. He asked me "What do you want me to do?" and also "Well I didn't know I was working on a f*cking show car here Matt" and "Well you brought me this $35,000 car" and "I'm only human man, I can't get everything perfect" (what's even more funny is he never touched the car except to buff it) and he also said "well you know this car went out of my shop with some stuff like runs and what not and that's not something I let out of the shop, but I never had a chance to look at it before we rolled it out of the shop". Also "
He started to talk down to me (he's my old man's age, so probably 30+ years on me) and got irritated/pissed off. In turn, I started getting irritated that he couldn't keep his cool and thought he could talk down to me so I started pointing out everything that he never even touched with a little more fervor. And he said "well you know what, just bring he damn thing to me tomorrow, I'll spend all day on it fixing everything that you put on a list and tomorrow after work you can swing by and we'll check off everything on that list and once that's done, we're done". I said yeah well that's all I want. To have everything fixed. He also bitched about how he is only paid two hours to paint the door and other things, which only made him look more like the idiot because he couldn't do it right the first time.
There's a few other good quotes that I got from him last night, I'll post 'em when I think of them.
Another quote I just thought of was the one where he said "well you went over this paint job with a fine tooth comb, did you look that close at the rest of the car?" and I thought to myself "who gives a rats ass what the rest of the car looks like; if it looks bad, that's my beef with GM or my own scratches/etc, but the issue at hand is your sh*tty paint job, not what the rest of my car looks like"
Am I working with stupidity here or what?
