Hey guys I haven't been around here for a while since my car is all torn down for a full repaint. Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I also wanted to show you some pics of the progress. Lately I have been spending my time playing with my Audi S4 to keep me tied over till my baby is done.

Before:

You know I won't.

They were moving the car about 20ft we the guy must have reved it a little and his wet foot must have slipped off of the clutch.

My car was only flawless on one side before this. It needed a full repaint anyways. So I got them to pay me 6k for a 10k paint job total. So I see it as $4k out of my pocket for something I was going to have to pay 10k for someday to do it right.

I am going to paint it the same color red with white stripes.

Damn that sucks.
Does that guy still work at that car wash? lol
Looks like they did a good job on it though.
10K paint job? Damn, i am going to paint my 68 Fastback myself and i don't think its going to cost me that much. I am going to make it show quality though.

Nice but that sucks better make them pay

I was actually quite calm. I knew my car had lots of little flaws and the car needed a repaint anyways. So I got them to pay for most of a high end paint job.

10k on paint man I could never do that just think of a scratch and how you are going to flip out.

Just got a new house with a 3 car garage. The 3rd spot will be practically fenced off for it. [Wink]

And if I take it anywhere I will get some excellent exercise.
