Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums  

Great.Where the heck did he find an NOS red grille?That's a good find.I'll bet you'll be watching everyone around you like an eagle when the Cougar is fixed and you're back on the road.I got very paranoid after the Sport was painted.I even park waaaaaaay out in the parking lot to stay away from everyone.Of course,every time I do that,there's one idiot who always thinks they need to park next to me,in an acre of empty spaces.

And he doesnt love the car all so much he thinks its too small.

Yeha well I have no cup holders. no ac.
But my bf bought an 09 kia rio.
and he bought the base model which has no power seats. no power windows[crank] no power mirrors.
how lame i hate it but it has sirius radio and ac.

How?! I need my car done cheap...but they wanna charge a lot. I need help lol

I have reflected on this statement several times and I have yet to figure out what exactly you are saying here....
However that kind of mindset is exactly how our country got into the buisness of outsourcing.

do you even understand what this type of talent is worth?

Its called T&E (Time and Expense)
His time, his talent, his tools all going to work just for you in a 40hour week at 50$ an hour shop rate assuming that is the shop rate.  If thats the case, he made you a  good deal.  Will he have a helper?  Maybe he will and maybe he wont but still, that hourly rate puts two men on one car with all the labor burden on the shop not to mention the liability and risking his reputation as a shop owner.

Woman up and understand this is just the price you pay for services.  If you want it done cheap, use ducktape, bondo and super glue and spraypaint.

Id suggest you and your dad take the front end parts off and let him focus on frame shaping and pulling right off the bat.  His time spend on mundain tasks like bolt on items is a huge waste of your hard earned money.  the quicker he is able to get to the meat of the matter , the quicker he can get your car fixed. 

sorry, just had to say that because there are many people who forget how much it really costs to do a job and do it right and still maintain a good buisness relationship by word of mouth.

just remeber one thing,,, just because you dont like a dollar figure does not make it incorrect.  It may be out of your budget but nevertheless, it does not mean the individual is not due his or her valued service.

Do I think I would pay 2grand for the service? Nope because i can do all that myself.  If you cant, then pay someone else who can.

 And the body work [COLOR="Red"]better be done right because if its not [/COLOR]and i go get my inspection they will tear it apart all over again and lets just say york auto will be hearing from me adn doing my car over.
!!

Well,, cant say I didnt see this coming. I predicted it way back on your other thread.  Like i said before, your kind of thinking is one root cause of why our country is in the shape it is in now.  A bunch of spoiled kids / adults wanting something for nothing.  Your request is simple,, you want the stars but you want to pay in dust.  You asked for help, you got it.  You desired a good price,, and for the sake of the working folks you got a GREAT DEAL!!.  In the end, you plan to pin them to the wall when everyone bent over backwards to make you happy.  You sound spoiled and inmature making comments like that.  I simply think you need educated in simple math and what time is worth.  Your sig says something about cosmetics or whatever so if your plan is to run your own shop,, remember your kind of mind will be greeting you at the counter "wanting something for nothing",,,,,,,,,and thier checks for free.

Life aint no BOGO so stop treating this like it is.

Just my 2c worth.
