ADC did the turbo install and I know that I am going to be involved quite thoroughly in the fixing of his car. Not to say I told you so, but I was concerned when you said you were taking it to a shop. Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

Youll need more for punitive damages and the time wasted. Ill ask for at least $10k if I was you. -dan 98 CSVT 484/6535,18" MI Rims,Nitto NEO GEN Tires,Pioneer DEH-P7300,Custom Cougar CIA,CF Hood,McCULLOCH HID 6K,Custom painted red calipers,Flowmaster 40s mufflers,Drilled Slot rotors,K&N 9" air filter,Brullen HiFlo Y Pipe & CAT,Magnaflow Res

I can't imagine any respectable business owner knowingly putting up with that kind of BS. Hopefully he is reasonable, and it was just a bunch of jerk-off kids screwing around. Hopefully they will be fired for this as well! Its probably a good thing as well that you didn't injure them or damage property, as that could be held against you later (yes I know how hard that must have been!). If I were you, start documenting EVERYTHING related to these events in case the shop owner is a tool and has to be dragged to court. Scott I hope you get this all resolved and get your car fixed on their $$$. I hate to read this as I found your car very inspiring to look at on Woodward! Good Luck ... E0 3781

Ill ask for at least $10k if I was you. -dan in order to go to superior court (maybe different in their state) you have to hire an attorney, for a few grand. no attorney would touch this without money up front. the judge will only give money for actual damages, ie cost to repair and for the cost of filing the suit. you cant recover punitive damages for something like this. you also cant recover for time wasted or wages lost for being in court. small claims court would definitely be the best option. unless small claims in your aread caps out at $3k and your damages are far above that. but then factor in the attorney fee and it may not be worth it.
