I knew someone that worked at Earl Scheib right out of high school. He said that if the car was ONLY getting painted with the $99.95 paint job and had no additional body work being done, they were only allowed to use 1 piece of sandpaper per car!"

Was his last name Crow?? Because I think his daughter is stuck on that one sheet thing per "sheet."

The BBC unearthed this gem of information on her website.


"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting...I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote reported the BBC.

"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

Just looked at a Carrera here in the most remote, rural part of NC. Sitting at a body shop(imagine guys painting outside type of place) with the front bumper removed. I know they've never seen a 911, hell I've only seen a few in this area - most of which are seasonal transplants.
This is a great time to remind people of the PPI process - you need to really look at these car to see what kind of voodoo they've experianced.

Yet another prime example of a 911 falling into the wrong hands. On a sidenote, Ed (ivangene), I love your new avatar. BTW, while I was reading the post on the sandpaper on page 1, I was going to state that I would even fear going to that shop to just pick up a friend's car...as what if I needed to use their toilet only to notified that one leaf of toilet paper is all what one can use but fpb beat me to
it.
