cheese and crackers, that is a list!!

i forget, were you dropping it off this past weekend for paint?

[NBTF]

Yep, it is at the shop now. I will be going back this weekend to pick it up and get some pics.

I am shaking inside with excitement about finally having the bumper installed and painted, I have had it sitting around for almost 4 years.

[NBTF]

Oh yeah, I will always be adding to the list.

Me too. But I will be getting a ride to my parents(2 hours) to get the car and will have to arrange with the body shop owner to see I and can pick the car up on Sat since they would be closed. Then I would have the guilt trip put on me if I don't stay and visit for a day.

Next on the agenda, once I pay off the front bumper work, will be getting the rear bumper painted and installed and I already know it is going to cost more than the front.

But I will have the car at the next meeting and show-n-shine.

[gixxer711]

i understand the guilt trip. i am king at that.
