A "detail" is so ambiguous these days, how do you know what you're getting for $200? A wash, decon, and wax/sealant? A single stage paint correction? 2 year ceramic coating? Interior cleaning? Engine bay cleaning?

Moved it into my new, recently finished garage. Well, after installing a new battery.

There is probably no one that has NOT seen this, but it is AOS info. From that other forum.

Yup, that's the way to go and the new motor will get one if JR approves. I don't want to do it again!

Curbed the shit out of my newly refinished right rear wheel.

Texted my wheel guy, asked how much the idiot tax will cost...he says "if you'll let me refinish that front one I wasn't 100% happy with, I'll do them both for free."

Free or not, his beer fund is going to get a cash infusion.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Ugh... that’s sucks. Sounds like you have a great wheel guy. Picture of damage?
