My new Project

[bigc73542]

I am going to paint and customize my car and though It might be interesting for some to watch the progress. The first step is getting rid of 131 hail dents. I have already installed the Kanji performance exaust system. I will post more pics as I progress in the project

Hey Curt, Sorry that BB missed you (you must have been at the store or something) but she really wanted to help you with the car and save you some work and was hoping to catch you at home. Oh well, don't worry about it. I think she did a really good job on her own. Don't be too critical as she spent a whole lot of time painting with an extremely small brush.
She learned this in her PSP class, "How to Paint Cars. Adding your own Identity and Special Touches." What do you think?

I have had my "Element" barely a Month! The front pass. side was muckled. When I got home I had to pry my wife out of the car! The deer did not stop so I couldn't find out who his Insurance carrier was.

Well you shouldda got out the car and smacked him around some more with the back of your hand to teach him not to cross the street without lookin' both ways first.

And I would bet if'in you was to lock Baked Bean Man in the car just long enough for him to let one go, the pressure would blow your front pass side back into it's proper position. Just remember to drive with the windows down for the next couple of years.

Speaking of bad accidents, my in-laws were on their way home from our house yesterday, and they were following a truck with a porta-potty on the back. My mother-in-Law made the following comment to my father-in-law that---"I sure hope that thing is tied down good!". Well at that precise moment, the potty broke loose, flew off the trailer, where-by they ran into it. The impact sent the potty flying over their car damaging the front bumper. All in all, this doesn't sound so bad---except for the fact that the holding tank was not empty and well their nice car was cover with well--you where I'm going with this. :o :gack: http://www.4wd.com/4wdforums/images/smilies/OnTheCan.gif

I am reasonably sure that the taxpayers would put up with the extra expense. According to the latest polls, they are having enough trouble with gas (gasolene) that they don't want any trouble with natural gas too.

There are two unspoken Laws in the motoring Fraternity that say:-

1. If you buy a new car (Ed) get a hammer and whack it were it won't show....that stops the 'New' car Gremlin from organising someone or something (Deer) to do it for you.......

2. Never spray a car just for the Hell of it (BigC).....a vehicle only requires a re-spray after an accident.......never just a spray.......the Motoring Gremlin will know and in a very short while the car will need to be re-sprayed......
