Xiek,

That sucks, royally. I hope that the recovery is quick and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your car at MOTD... you have some very unique and amusing decals!

Here's to getting Betty all patched up and motoring again.

Alcohol, meth, cocaine, you name it. I could say a few other things, but it would be political, and that would almost suck as bad as the broken glass.

Losing the stickers really sucks. Hope Betty gets fixed quickly!

no pics yet, but she is back...

the operation was a success, but not without a possible mal-practice suit...

I found a half smoked cigarette butt in the car, that black glass glue all over the handles, and the stickers on the LR window, have exacto slices in them from where he measured the tint for the broken window.. some trim pieces not put in place properly...

but bottom line she is back and will have pics tonight to post. infact picked her up and went to Chicago 2,000km roundtrip...

Oh, it was the 6 yr old next door that did that... and he was all excited that he was gonna get caught and was waiting for me to get him back....

so I did... I went and bought 5 of them... rocks, golfballs, and softballs, and got his moms car, front door, and bedroom window (needed to climb for that one)....

Apparently, his mom thought it was Christmas he was soooooo excited that I got him back... LOL....

Good thing I love kids eh....


batgirl.... thanks eh.... VIV LA CANADA!!!!!


I may take Betty Gay Camping this weekend... what is Gay Camping?? well it is a bunch of HOMO's in a field, with a pool, dance club and small restaurant... LOL...
