You know, in Arizona you can't go a mile without seeing treads all over the freeway. The summer is a scary time for this reason alone. I learned my lesson when I was too close to a Super-Duty when he ran over one in the road and sent it FLYING OVER my head.

I'll never forget that...

Let me jump in the long line of well wishers who know and admire both of you gals! You both are great, kind, funny, and pure of heart souls.
May the "Force" continue to protect you both.

OMG!"May The Force" Where have you heard this before? SteveSky67

Here is my update...

I used some elbow grease and I got 99% of the black marks off. I used Auto Armor which was given to me at the dealership when I bought my SKY. It's a Paint Protection Cleaner/ Remover which is clear coat safe. It took it off except for 2 small yellow stains. I am happy with that.
During my lunch break I went to the body shop and I asked them what it would cost to get the dent out and the yellow marks off of the SKY. He told me for $150 he could repair it and remove the yellow marks on the front bumper. I am so happy. Snow White will look beautiful again for the Mohegan road trip. I bring it to the body shop next Wednesday. Life Is Good.

T.

GetAboutRL........ Thanks for the kind words. Hope to see you soon. Hugs T.

Geez T...i'm soooo glad yet something else happened to you so you could get all dramatic and hysterical

........

SCVanguard · 07-10-2008, 11:03 PM

$150??!?! Was this a Saturn Body Shop? I had a dent that is marginally worse than the one in your picture, albeit on the real fender flare. My repair was estimated at $700. Did he give you an actual estimate with parts and labor shown?

SKY 07 · 07-10-2008, 11:49 PM

I have nothing on paper yet. But He did say 150.00 and I know he does great work. He owns his own business and his reputation is excellent.
Gee Now you got me scared.

Oh dear......

I am nuts cause I have trust issues. Maybe this guy is pulling my leg. Maybe I should get something on paper. and Tom doesn't know him,

this guy is our next door neighbor and he has to past my house everyday.

Ok I will take a deep breath. To many things are going on in my life. I can't even go to sleep tonight cause my mind is so busy in every direction. oh dear..
Oh BTW Tom won't put in the last bulbs, he is having my daughters boyfriend install them.

marlboromike · 07-11-2008, 12:18 AM

Did you tell him that???

I got the pictures today.

Hugs T. Did you get your message I leaft you?

marlboromike · 07-11-2008, 12:40 AM

Yes...got your voice mail...I did tell Tom it is a pain in the AZZ but not a difficult task...if u read my previous message, start with the passenger side first...for some reason they gave more wire to the socket and that makes it easier to install. The other way to do this...is to work from underneathe the car, instead of the engine compartment. Unlike the low beams...each side will take about 5 mins of struggle.

deluke · 07-11-2008, 06:25 PM

Well, I had a BLAST with T. Life is never dull when we're together. And Skyman, I'm so glad your usually around to get T. where she is going. We must of got lost about 15 times all together. It didn't matter if we were in the Mall or parking garage or on the road. Talk about the blind leading the blind. We really could of used you mark. We'll have to all get together for PF Changs when they open in November at West Farms Mall. We didn't get hurt at all and the tire thing could of been alot worst.

I wish i could go to the next Mohegan sun cruise, but I'm leaving for Italy on july 22 for 10 days. I really cant wait. We'll be staying in Tuscany at a Vill my sister rented. Then we are going to Rome for a couple nights. The rest will be day trips. I really can't wait.

Any sugestions on things I have to see over there would be appreciated.

Well have to go for now. T. I'll try call you in a few days, if nodt I will talk to you before I leave.

Sorry if there are any typos, I don't spell check on the forum. LOL
