Got my car back from the body shop this afternoon. Had them wet sand the headlight since they were so badly hazed. Looks amazing and then set up for the Tuesday before the meet for an exterior detailing. $20 for the headlights, $100 for the detail!

Tommy, I don't know what you're talking about... I knew all along that I could fix that router. lol

Greg, you jog? I thought your knees were shot.

Par, want to do some stitching on my shift **** cover?

Nick, that's a pretty good deal. I need to buff out the haze on my van. It looks like crap. In fact, the van needs to go into the body shop to fix some rust issues. I'll need to rent a car.

Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like fun.

You could always partake in the driving school first

I finally got my new tires mounted today, albeit I went to 3 different places. The first place (tires plus) would have charged $189 Sears said they couldn't do it because the shape of the rim was going to break their machine . I ended up going to Tiremaxx where they have the "special" $10K machine that could do it, I ended paying $120 for mounting/balancing.

Sorry to disappoint you, Dave. I only got new tires, same stock wheels. I didn't realize just how bad the old rear tires were. They were pretty much slicks which would explain why they wouldn't grip for crap last year at BIR.
