Was it Altamonte? They have the astrovans. BTW, CSO's are by state statue LEO's on Crash scenes. They have the same traning, if not more specialized training for accidents, than a "real police officer" who would probaly give you an exchange and not even do a report for you unless there was injury. Atleast at my department they do, we love them.

That sucks.

Im going through the same thing with a ticket of mine where the cop didnt explain crap. Just gave me a court date with no phone number to call, no fines and I didnt even sign the damn ticket.

Im in the process of getting it painted got the fenders done over spring break this is my first attempt at painting and I am ok with how it turned out. there is some major orange peal which i think came from the sealer but im going to wet sand and see how it goes. other then that it looks good it does not match perfectly to the old paint but the car was painted before and not with urethane so i figured it wouldn't match anyways. Still have to get the AC recharged hopefully this week and fix my coolant leak and finish painting the bumper and hood.

the pictures show my little paint booth and what the car looks like now.
