I would have let them do it. it took me 5 hours to clean the interior. and thats after i took the carpets out. they were gonna clean the carpets!!!!

they said they couldnt accept tips. so i felt too bad. ive had tose damn kids wash my dixie a few times. they cant wash worth a damn. it looked worse than before i brought it to em. they did knock the 4in thick mud off though. it was worth getting to watch

I hate this one:
"Why is your "car" all dented?"

First of all, it's NOT a "car"....It's either a Jeep or a truck, NOT A CAR!
Second of all, It's a Jeep. I don't care if it's dented

The next thing that should come out of the person's mouth who asked this question should be:
"Why are there tire marks on my hood!?"

When my friends asked me why I have dents from offroading I reply, I drive an 85 AMC, does it look like im worried about dents?!

I've heard that a lot, and been tempted to leave 'em each and every time.

Now, is it true that mud inhibits/prevents rust....or does it cause things to rust quicker, I can't remember?

Hey now, I fixed quite a bit of it all on my own!



Got lazy tho and paint over that awful gold strip... lol but only on the passenger side doors. God what a dumb move, lol. But I'll be repainting the whole thing again soon, so I don't really care.
