No, but you're hiding in your own thread saying the same things.

BTW, before you get bent out of shape again, I only stated twice that I did not see the huge deal about your charcoal colored CSVT. Once after the initial pictures that Todd posted, and once again after you posted the "better" pictures, stating yourself that:

If you are going to try to make a decision on whether you like the color or not - Let's start with some decent (not the best) pictures to look at.



So there's better pictures now. Ok, I still don't think it's that huge a deal. Even the first time, I gave you better credentials than you're giving me by saying:

Do we have a problem here? No.

Not until you come back swinging with "I have a deal about your color." Hell man, it's your car and you're free to do whatever you please with it.

And on the flip side, it's MY freedom to decide whether or not I like it. You don't seem to want to accept that posting a picture or three does not necessarily mean that everyone is going to agree with what you did, no matter the work/time you put into it.

Again, I applaud you for going out of the way to try something new. I don't however, feel it necessary that you have to 'return the favor', saying I'm the bad guy, and by pointing out my mishap thread and further laughing about it. An accident is no laughing matter and I don't appreciate you stating any sort of humor about karma or otherwise, just as I'm sure you were less than pleased to see that I am not a huge fan of something you put a lot of work into.

Lastly, I could care less if your paintjob cost as much as my ZX2. That means nothing to me, and I'm not out to make myself feel better by comparing the cost of your paint to the cost of my entire vehicle. Consider this: I'm in college and can barely scrap enough money to afford the vehicle I have. I'm sure you're in a better situation. You obviously must be with the way your car looks.

Now for the third time, I ask that you please let this argument die. If FCO is so much better than CEG, then feel free to go back to your own little hole in the Internet. I'd not mind a bit.




You know, I'm at a total loss as for why you still persist in driving the bus on this. I feel that you overstepped your boundaries and disrespected my total work. Others have said they don't feel it - And I'm not saying anything to them or anyone else am I? Only you telling me you would've done it differently caught my attention because you tried to "duck and weave" your way out of explaining yourself.

So, are you done yet? I read your thread about your (accident). You want my opinion?... Speaking as a Body Shop Manager and Certified Estimator? Yes, I do this for a living - Along with managing a Parts Department as well - My 3 Ring Circus life.

The accident you had could've resulted in a no penalty to either driver, however if she insisted on it - You can be CITED for it. Doesn't matter if she was on the phone or not.. You pulled out of a blind area (meaning you couldn't see around the vehicle next to you) in front of her. She was talking on the cell phone... Made her reaction time greater due to inattention, HOWEVER... She wasn't barreling through the lot as you describe. If a Full Size pickup hit you at 5-8mph max, that damage would occur. There was no way she was doing faster - Or she would've rocked you hard. That ZX2 isn't a tank, I've seen plenty of them in here for 20-25MPH wrecks and have $3500.00 damage. Hell, I've got a 2004 Tiburon GT out back that was hit in a parking lot coming around a corner that set off both airbags and caused $6800.00 in damage! Would you like a photo of that? Now that I feel bad about... Your fender bender... nevermind.

Saying you don't like something is one thing, to sit here and tell me YOU would've done it differently is TELLING ME that I made the wrong choice. Do you have no respect for the work that was done at all? Jesus dude.. No wonder I got pissed. Capiece? Your friend telling me that I was telling you to like my color needs to re-read the thread - Or buy some glasses.. Cause all I wanted was an answer that you wouldn't give until I prodded you. Now I'm asking you - Not you asking me as it is MY decision to drop it as this thread deals with ME, to ask you to drop it! So drop it already! Sorry for your luck on the accident, shizz happens.. could happen to me later today at the store - Could happen to anyone. Get over it. The poor college student thing doesn't make me feel bad.. I was that way for 5 years also.. My parents DIDN'T carry me on their insurance like yours...liability or not. So be thankful that's one less expense you have. Be grateful your car is still drivable and you are walking away, it could've been alot worse.
