what's the benefit of powder coating over painting?

 

Well I can't leave now to get it since I already took my lunch and since I get off at 4:30 and they close at 5 I don't think I'd be able to make it there before they closed.

Well if done right it will not chip ever.

 

Hopefully I will have mine back tomorrow too. got a date with the strip.

 

Did you pick your car yet? Hey did you pick up your car yet? Pssst did you pick up your car yet?

 

Me?




No. Shop is SUPPOSED to be calling me back with an estimated time. Sounds doubtful I will get mine back today... which pisses me off because I have some grudge racing tonight. Got someone who thinks their balt is faster than mine, so I gotta prove em wrong, lol. Nah, just some friendly racing really.


But I really wanna have the faster balt.

 

Well I guess both of you then. lol


That sucks I know it's been MONTHS since the last track day for you right?

 

Yes just got back to work with it. Car is absolutely FILTHY(Stu would cry) but the wheels are beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful.

 

I have been once since I got the car back from the axle being broke. The axle took me out for about 2 months, then i went once and the weather has been crap since then, now the weather is perfect, and the car is in the shop. And no, I'm not getting it back. I don't understand what takes so long. They better wash the damn car for me for taking so ******* long.

 

When did you bring it to them? Mine took 4 full days.

 

I would love to go to the track again after what happened

But the weather here is like 110* so I'll have to wait til nov. or dec when it's nice and cool

 

Took it in Monday. I really planned on it taking 4 days, hence why I scheduled it the week before a big track day. I wanted to 'unveil' my new look in style. Also wanted to 'unveil' my magic juju thats going to let me stomp all over an infiniboost tuned ss-tc.

Nothing like waiting til Nov/Dec to wait til its cool. Our tracks close from Nov to May.

 

The average temp will be low 70's by then so it'll be good

 

Awww man I'm sorry that sucks. Did you call them and see how far along they were? What are you tuned with?

 

Yeah, I called today, and he finally got back to me and said he couldn't get a hold of the shop so he left a message and still hasn't heard from them as of 3pm.

And I am tuned with HPT.

 

Well hey at least you know yours are being done right the first time unlike mine!

 

That is the only solace I can take in the matter at the moment.

 

Don't worry they'll look so good you won't even care.

 

Yeah, I care. ALOT right now. I have a buddy with an SRT4 and we made a bet when i first got this car to see who broke the 12's first. He ran a 12.89 tonight. I KNOW I would have been there if i had the car. PLUS, there were so many cobalts that thought they were hot ****, I would have slapped down a $20 on each one of em, and embarrassed them all.

 

Don't worryyy you still have time!!

 

Oh, I know. I don't have a whole lot of time though. I have a shop that wants to do some prototype work on my car (least I think... wish they'd get back to me), so it should be in the shop for a while. I think I am just going to wait for the season to end to let them tear into it. I really can't believe I will have a 12 second car that is completely stock except the tune.

Anyway, I expect the balt back Monday sometime, I'll post some pics in here. Rissa, you have any new pics?

 

I do not...but I think I'm gonna take some today!

 

Don't act like you're happy and ****. You hate your life.
