6 weeks later(car is back but..... )no 56 k large pics sorry

Hi all this is what my ride currently looks like.. not much too see...but i was bored and took some pics of it














i'm suppposely gonna get her back friday....i hope so.. the wagon im using now is costing me 35 bucks a week to fill...compared to like 15 a week for my civic...

The shops still needs to finish sanding it
- buff it out
-reinstall the windows
-put on the back bumper(which is already painted)
- 4 wheel alignment..

this is taking way too long...



Ive had the car back for a few weeks now..but after taking so long the guy who worked on it did such a crappy job. New pics.



1. Paint isnt smooth.. If you saw it in person you could see how messed up the door jam paint is.



2. Bumper isnt flush....


3. I tried to take a pic of the other thing that he messed up but i cant get it on camera. Where the old piece and new piece meet in the quarter panal there isa line.. It loks like crap.

Why is my car so dirty.. i just washed it thursday lol

before my car went into the shop i would fill it about every 7-10 days and i never put over 20 bucks in it... but gas was 2.19 back then..now its 2.49 but on average i would spent 75ish ish bucks a month on gas... but i work within a mile of my house and other the nthat the malls, food, basketball courts are within 5. so i dont drive that far.

so far iin 6 weeks this wagon i have cost me. 160 bucks to fill

well i was in this small town going to play basketball and.. kinda got lost... i just lost my sense of direction and i was doing about 10...and .about 100 feet from the court and i missed a stop sign and got hit by a ck 3500 gonna about 45...i spun out and just almost cried lol.. i always thought speed would do it.. but i just wasnt paying attention...but seriously the most i ever put in my car was like 19.96 lol. i drive around alot but i hardly go outside my area in it..so i guess thats why i dont spend much on gas. but adjusted to todays rice it will take 25...gas was alot cheaper in may lol

the price tag for mine is 4100, the the car im driving right now isnt pretty.. 1988 full size caprice wagon.. not pretty It has 3 rolls of seats, cassette player.. its loaded...with stuff from the 80s lol. Its my dad's car for his dogs .. he only uses it to take his dogs anywhere they need to be. He bought it 3 years ago and only put 3000 miles on it in 3 years so yea its not uesd much. I could drive my moms saturn but its way too small inside, and i drive my dads new F150, once and a while but i cant get used to how high it is.
