Default Getting restless

I am worried about my ITR. I took her in to get a couple door dings, and scratches fixed at a body shop. The shop was recomended by several people to me. I just can't stop thinking horrible thoughts. It was supposed to have been ready last Friday. When I called on Friday they told me it would be the middle of this week. Now I called today, and the owner told me his paint booth is broken, and didn't know when my car would be finished. How in the hell can a paint booth break? All you have is lights, fans, and filters right? I tried to make it up there before they closed, but didn't make it in time. I didn't see my car either. I have been having nightmares about them swaping my motor out. In another they are taking it for a beat ride and fix all the panels, so I don't know about it. Hopefully they didn't give it out to someone else to drive while they fixed their car. If my odometer has more than 5 tenths of a mile on it I am going to be pissed. I hope like hell no one has been smoking in it either. I will be so glad when I get my ITR back.

I did go down there twice, but they were closed. The Germans quit working at 3:30. I don't know how they ever get anything done.

Exactly, take the tampon out of your ***, go down there and raise some hell. The last thing I'd be doing if my R was being fucked with is cry about it on the internet. Not trying to be a dick but we're all grown adults here.

I will make a mental note of your comment, so when you rap your **** around a tree I will have no compassion for you bitch. If you don't like what you are reading you can always move on to the next post, and be a grown adult.

Back to the post. I went there this morning and checked it out. I saw the car and everything is fine. Actually they are fixing some other minor scratches as well. It looks like they are hooking me up pretty good.

German companies are way different than American. They don't give a crap. The costumer is always wrong. No such thing as costumer service. I don't understand how they stay in business? I thought they were just rude to Americans, but that doesn't seem to be the case. You don't have much rights here either. That is one of the reasons my car is in the damn shop. The Police took a dog through/on my car. Jumped in the back while getting traction on my bumper. The officer was knocking on my body panels to get the dog to sniff them. Then He had the dog jump up on my front bumper to sniff my air cleaner. I was seeing white that night. I hope that I never have to experience that again.

I am not paying for it. It isn't costing me a dime. The military and Germany police are footing the bill.

I always take a picture of my car and speedometer before bringing it into the shop. I also make sure that they see me do so, so they will think twice about messing with my car.

Give the guy a break guys, he works like most here. If a business closes at 3:30, I highly doubt that even you can get there in time before it closes.

Looking at your profile I see that you are only 21. More than likely Mommy and daddy helped you with your car, and pay your insurance. You probably wouldn't cry about it on the internet, seeing how you more than likely didn't work to hard for it. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
