I'm really missing my truck!

As some of you know I had a run in with my garage a couple weeks ago. She's been in the body shop since last Monday. They're telling me first part of the week I'll be getting her back. It's been a loooooong week. Plus my rentals a HHR. I'm not sure if there's 3 or 4 squirrels under the hood but they must be babies!!!

I'm having the hood redone and the front bumper too.

Around 3500 rpm in the HHR it sounds like it's going to blow up!!! Put two passengers in it and it feels like it lost two cylinders

Yeah, the truck in the shop thing is a real drag

Rentals are great, just do some E-break drifts and enjoy tearing up somebody else's ride.

Here's a rental PT cruiser. Those are removable metal shelf tops on the back wheels.

It was a few months before you started working there. When I was still working in the warehouse.

He had problems with both prior to the accident. Getting them knocked out. Good thing too, he keeps bothering me about my hood.

Hmm, can't you buy the rear fender? I don't think I'd like the bondo repair so much.
