i trust the shop, but i should of asked ahead of time if it was done.If it was a scam i swould of let it burn all the way not just some lol. I have to much money it to burn it and get a fraction of what the insurance company would give me. I had a guy looking at it offering me 12,500 for it the insurance company is only gonna give me at the most 10 they said just becuase of the year of it and miles.

Your one to talk....get your car running by the end of the month or i want a refund!
