Get used to it, my dad is the same way. Luckly I know how to do most of the stuff myself so I just do it when I'm alone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . He usually likes what I've done to my car after its done though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . I've had my car for 3 months and look below what I've got done <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .
