It's a business and in business you don't make money by writing checks to customers...

3 weeks later I was in flight school and didn't have to worry about screwing people in that industry...

It's great you didn't go down that road. Just wish I could get out and still support the family. ;)

i dont want to live with these cars thats for sure.

good venting about it though.....
start posting those videos and maybe we can get them sent to Stacy David and get you a co hosting spot!!!!!:metal::metal:

Knock on wood that car never came back for anything. It will be my luck that it is waiting for me in the am. :lol:

Do you have connections with Stacey David? ;) That would be a dream come true. I'd love to get a job teaching and showing people different techniques. I don't have the fundage to do anything more than home videos which some of ya'll have seen already.

Re: Look what the insurance wants me to do.

there insurance companies here that try to use junkyard parts where ever possible but they advertize with it and there cheaper than regulair companies and is better for the inviroment .
i dont think they go as far as replacing the side that way the hourly rate here lies around 40 euro an hour for a bodyguy so they want it done as eazy and fast as possible

they do work on structural stuff but it has to be reaproved for roaduse and they do a visual check and a driving test used to work for a company that made limos out of mercedeses they where used as taxies mostly they cut them in half pulled them apart made new sides and used factorie parts for the middle piece of the floor and roof put in an extra doorjam and used the front part of a reardoor and the back part of a front door to make the middle door
they did rust a lot faster than factorie stuff
