Default New Paint

I went by the body shop and saw the car with the door off and the rocker panel cut out..they were getting ready to weld in the new rocker..since they were going to paint the driver's side of the car I decided to have them paint the whole car...no more rock chips on the hood!!..the tires and wheels are in transport and will be here next week...new wheels, tires and paint..it will be like a brand new car...I had to dodge another deer last night.. ..those critters are out in force this year...keep your eyes peeled for them or you might end up like me down in the ditch dodging their fat asses...if ya hit one going fast they end up in the front seat with ya

Did you decide to stick with the same wheels or go with a different style? Why not just get em to throw a ghost flame or something on there while they are at it?

Congratulations Steve! I am glad you decided to paint the entire car. Did you decide to go with the Z06 wheels you told me that you were thinking about swapping out earlier this year?

The only problem with that senario is that Mr. deer doesn't land on the hood..he comes through the windshield and tries to kill your *** with his ***..I don't know about you..but I didn't want to meet my maker by kissing a deer on the *** at 65 miles an hour
