Debeers advertising says one month in Europe and 3 months in Japan. US got 2 months. Real man-law says...Rule 76: No Excuses - Play like a Champion. Make her propose!

I know Enrish is hard to understand but I'll break it down for you. In that sentence "it" is considered a object pronoun. Ethan's car (or generally any car I work on) is the object, which I have conveniently replaced with it. There are many other uses for it! You should try it. Its pretty fun to do. Do you get it? Hope that helps! Thank you come again!

Either way, that's NUTZ.. no way I am falling for that. You could get a pretty decent car for 3 months pre-tax salary for ***ks sake!

Reviving this thread...

5 months later the paint on the front bumper's starting to bubbling up at some spots. And there're some paint cracks around the headlights. The cracks are growing like cancer... I still stand what I stated. The fiberglass work was awesome but the paint job was very crappy.

I bet water got into your intercooler through the hood then once you cranked it up...slurp slurp...

cars are like a crap game... you can hit for weeks, then crap out in one roll!

LOL
unless his intercooler had a giant hole at the top of it, water doesn't get into it

That sucks =( When CT2 did my paint, they told me they would warranty it for life.

I guess they didn't factor in going under =(

Yea I'm kinda disappointed at DTM Bodywork. After I put all my trust and TIME(6 months of wait time!) into them, they sure didn't deliver what I excepted. Time to find a new body shop.

I love how the paint job lasted as long as it took.

Maybe next time they'll spend a year on it and it will hold up for a year.

On another note, I've got a chitload of pho, if you wanna stop by tomorrow for a LATE dinner you're more then welcome. I sent a message to goof, I should have told him 7pm so he'd make it there around the time Linh gets home.... 9:45ish.
