RockinSS (Wayne) didn't do anything to the Pace car. He just pointed out the nice dent in the pass quarter panel someone did to the car. That's why I was thanking him. For pointing that out at the car show on saruday. lol

Not that I'm happy someone did this to an otherwise perfect '03 Pace car cause I'm not.

I just hope the body shop can get this ironed out without too much work and even less of a $$$$ charge to me.

I called Phoenix Graphixs a few minutes ago and talked with Chad. He said we made the mistake of washing the car too soon at a powered car wash after installation of the decals. It's been one month exactly on sunday and that's when we washed the Pace car. I didn't want it setting in the garage dirty. Guess I should have hand washed it yesterday myself while the steaks were grilling? Chad said if the decals had been on the car a while longer going to a powered car wash wouldn't have been a problem. Or shouldn't have been.

Who knew????????????

It works 4 me. Sure hope that you can get the few issues/problems
resolved.

"We live, & hopefully we `Learn", but most important is
`We Live

LMAO. random!!!

i got my new tires today, the service at the shop was great, i went in when they were almost closing and they fit me in. the manager was the one who mounted them and he was really nice and made sure to point out the marks on my rims before he did anything, which i'm kinda glad he did because the front left one has a mark on it which i knew but the front right one also has a little scratch which i didn't know. really very nice and gave me 2 of the nascar posters. i forgot to mention that there's a $20 rebate so after that the total will be about $550. he was gushing over my car, it was kinda funny. he said they don't get many nice ones like that, haha. gotta love the monte love!

An '84 what? Honda Civic?
Geez. Thanks for the heads up JJ. Gotta remember to never have Taco Bell and milk. What about chocolate milk? Or does that come after the meal. (sorry. I think Space is going to put me into a time out for that one.)

LOL at shooting an 84 Honda Civic.

I've heard of the show "Jon & Kate plus 8", but never "SoCalSS Matt plus 15". And what's with feeding MOST of the children? What about the rest?

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the ding and decal. You left it for a month. How long did they expect you to wait? When the factory puts decals on a car or truck, they don't tell you to wait before putting your car through a car wash. Hopefully the Pace Car is back to 100% soon.


As for my Monte, it's doing good. In addition to a new infusion of Castrol Full Synthetic, it got a brake flush too.

I also found out that the 2000 to 2005 Montes do infact have a passenger compartment air filter. They printed out the replacement proceedure according to the GM service manual. I'll make a How-To thread about it if one doesn't already exist.
