Back on topic:

So I call 3 body shops, set up appointments to get estimates and call the dude at the recycle company. I specifically asked him to retunr my call to confirm how we will go forward.

Guess what?


No call....


$10 says I never hear from them.

Update: Someone should have taken that bet. I did get a call and a check!

The guy did come through for me after all, took 3 estimates and cut me a check for the lowest plus car rental.

It doesn't sting any less but at least its over...

If you do any jail time, you become "unstable" (read: cry bitch tears) and spend your 2% time served watching the plasma TV in the health center.

But throw paint away in the trash? oh, Hells no!

You gotta take that down to the freaquent felon feel good rehabilitation center where everybody on work release gets a government surplus white hazmat suit, some gloves we tax payers bought after 911 and pat each other on the back for helping the environment.

Yes sir, I'm pleased as punch to live here where the same clown who dented my jeep will no doubt be on the street tonight using my old spray paint to write his name on the walls of someones house or business.
