Always happens after a wash and wax....

So my car has a thousand holes in the body where the dent from the sideswipe used to be. My dad did a halfassed job... He's not even going to paint it and I told him to leave my car the hell alone if he couldn't finish the job. I don't care if she's 1000 times better, now you can obviously see that she was hit and I refuse to drive a car covered in primer. So now he's going to cost me MORE money by making me take it to the body shop when he should have just left well enough alone. I do not have this kind of cashflow right now to be throwing away on a paint job when the car needs so much other mechanical work. Didn't even take it to replace the battery like I BEGGED him to and an oil change. I am just mad right now that he thinks it's okay to do a halfassed job on my car and that I should be happy. yes I should but if you're not going to finish the job why start it to begin with? And on top of that he didn't even ask me, he just told me and I'm the idiot that went along with it so I really kinda can't say anything.

It just irks me. She didn't even look all that bad. If you weren't staring at the dent you couldn't tell. Now you can. Can I cry yet??

Okay, so technically it's the afternoon here on the east coast. It's still morning on the west coast! :p

Yesterday it rained ALL FREAKIN DAY. Which raised the humidity level about a zillion percent. And today we're getting the heat and humidity like most of you are. Upper 90's to low 100's, and humid.

I can't stand humidity. Just staying in the nice A.C. today. I even covered the windows in the Monte to help cut down on the interior temperature. Wish I had a garage! My next home, I'm demanding a garage.

Morning everyone.

Just came in from working on the MC. I think i finally got the leak under control. I'm just waiting for the car to cool down so i can tighten up the heater hoses.

Other then that, its another day in HOT-Lawton.

JJ, I just noticed the new saying in your sig. Like it. But I would suggest getting revenge on your kids by taking lots of pictures and videos while they're young. Especially if they went through "a phase". You can sell them back to them later in life.

"Hey kid! Remember the time you dyed your hair blue and wore flourescent yellow lipstick? Well, have I got an offer for you!"

No taz but I remember the time I dyed my hair purple.....

edited to reflect: I think I'm just going to sell her.... this car is costing me way too much money, and it's all major sh*t that costs a fortune... I dont know if it's the battery, the alternator or the starter... I asked my dad to just go replace whatever it was yesterday and he didn't listen to me... now my car won't start. I told him not to touch the body work to let me save money to get it done and he didn't listen to me. Now it looks like **** with body putty hanging off it and it's going to cost me more money. I am seriously at the end of my rope. The first $3k takes her... I've had it.
