Holy crap. For that little ding?

Pretty rare too. But discount tires has called me as well. They wanted to make sure I knew I had just ordered some funky sized tires for a 5th Gen Camaro.

awesome! it's great to hear that they're gonna try & make it right. the guys at the discount tire back home always did me good. sadly, i wouldn't buy tires from them, but it's nothing to do with the store

oh, no! i ain't even started worrying about fixing the truck's windshield lately. :(
the car had some leaks & it turns out it's from where, at some point in the past, the windshield got replaced by an idiot who broke stuff & tried to get around it by using a lot of glue & 3M tape now i'm having to buy new weather strips & windshield moldings (about $1000 just in parts) to get it fixed

still got that nice big star in my face on the truck :(

I am really curious to see what they say. Some people would look at my rims and ask, "huh? You have an issue with that?" To which I'd reply, 'they are no longer show wheels. they were perfect before coming to your shop. That's the problem. A scratch is a scratch and the metal is no longer sharp and crisp on the edge. Sure, it's been ground down to make the scratch LOOK smaller...but you just etched into the clear and blue paint. It's not the same."

I realy have lost much faith in spending money for service anymore.

What do you think about pink inserts for the doors and maybe pink stitching? I think that just might work![/COLOR][/I][/B]

I think you could definitely rock pink accenting...hmmm...last Fest it was blue, next it'll be pink.

I'd ask for free mounting/balancing for the fronts when you need'em......at the LEAST.

Guess this explains the mutual agreement I got from all polled about the custom penstripes on the coverSSssssssss...

I did some paint renderings and they were pretty ...... different looking... I tried different lines and fonts and stuff to name a few efforts, ... I'll see how it turns out when I get home...

It was nice talking to you guys as well... Bruce, Terry, Joe, Bill, Chuck, Chris, Scott, etc... thanks for the help... and don't worry about my phone bill from Brazil, the company covers it...
