Thanks for the imagery Mercury, it was like I was actually there.

Who is paying for that grad school for 4 or 5 years thingy ??
Who provides the rent free space you keep your Mustang in ??
What's a young mans food bill per month in GA ??
Who spent the thousands of hours and jillions of dollars in gas shuffling you around to little league games and pop warner football and soccer and the doctors office and etc etc ad nausium??
Who under great duress and stress taught you how to drive that Mustang ... for FREE ??
Who paid for any windows etc you may have broken when you were learning how to throw a ball, even though you were told over and OVER not to throw the ball in the direction of old man JINKINS HOUSE!!!??
Who gave you a rent free place to live for the last decade and a half ??
Just something to think about before you lop off your Pop's head without a second thought !

PS: The big fish tanks and fancy lounges in body shops are a running joke among insurance appraisers ... trust me ...they don't mean squat !!
PSS: Make sure your estimate includes flex additive for the cladding and rear cover because from the looks of the picture, it doesn't look like who ever painted it last used it. Oh and its hard to tell by the pic but is that bondo i see where the dent is ?
PSSS: It is a beautiful car !!

Sheeeeeeesh, man, I didn't feel like replying to this post right now cause it's late and I'm tire, but man, you are too perceptive....... (I can see you are a dad....)

To be specific, though, ain't no money coming from my parents for grad school (forget about it ), I pay close to 1/2 the bills of the house (just living with them now cause I can save alot of money ), although I must say my mom does still do my laundry for me , never went to little league, I only broke one window with a rock. but they never found out about it (so ), .....old man JINKINS??? LOL! .... but trust me, I do get your point (punk! ). He knows I'm not retaliating against him or anything, just getting the car fixed. If you didn't have the money to fix the dent on your son's car, wouldn't you rather just go through the insurance?? I still do feel KINDA bad in a small way, just b/c it's my dad, but if your son took the same route with you and you knew it wasn't out of malice or anything, you wouldn't be hurt/offended would you? (I would kinda like to hear it from your perspective since you're a dad). I wouldn't....

Concerning the fishies, they are entertaining to watch, though...

Yes, the estimates do include flex additives (believe me, that is one thing I've paid attention to--- I've had enough dealings with trying to paint the front bumper of my '79 and keeping the paint on ---but thanks for the reminder)

..........and, uh yes, Mr. Perception, that is a thin layer of bondo beneath the paint (good eye).... It seems that the car had been dented at that spot b4. Hmmmmmm, wonder why the former owner never mentioned that . Oh well... But thanks for the compliments on the car. I appreciate it.
