I wish it had been Cowete County, it was in Butts County where he wa arrested, and Jenkinsburg was where he hit my car, two different jurisdictions, so it got a little convoluted between where it happened and where I caught them.

You are 150% right about me going to jail if it had been in PTC, god I hate that place.

I hear some of the officers are now old enough to legally buy handgun ammo, so maybe it is getting better. (for folks that do not know about Peachtree City, they are a island unto them self, and do not care about any thing about state and federal laws.)
They do have a nice jail though, I will give them that much, at least it was last time I was there.

I am using Brians Paint and Body II on 16, we do a lot of work for them and I know they will treat me right.

What body shop are you using? When it comes to mods, I would recomend Embryes Cusyomotive.
He does alot of custom work, and has an interior guy onsite.

By far the easiest way to remove the sunroof (and I would be just as happy if I didn't have one) is to buy the roof panel from a non-sunroof car.

Shipping is tough...

I thought they were available from Porsche for around 600 bucks, that would be the way I would go, but I am one of the few that seems to like the sunroof, that one is down on my list.

Thanks, I think so also, I looked at a lot of rims before getting these, they came off of a 997 wide body, 11 inch rims in the rear with 295's on them, I will go wider next time with spacers.

It is back from the body shop and it looks better.
I will take some pics tomorrow after i get it back together.

It is going to need a repaint on the rear fenders to get the very slight marks where the GTS fenders were welded on, I will deal with this later.
This will give me time to decide on the other body mods I am thinking of.

To say that I am shocked that they did a good job, ON TIME and below estimated cost, is a fair statement.

So here is to Brians Paint and Body II in Newnan GA.

Greg, How many times have you been shot at? Actually, I don't want to know.

It's called a bench warrant, remains in effect for x years depending on jurisdiction. There is something satisfying about having one of those rise up and bite the jerk 3 years after he had forgotten about it. Yea, he might never have anything, but when was the last time you got total satisfaction in any dispute in this life. You will get a call late some night after they have picked him up in some dive and that is when the warm feeling overtakes you on your patio, and you enjoy your life while he spends time in the lock-up, gets another reminder of what a mess he is. You take your licks and revel in small victories.

Equating the Revolutionary War with a damaged door is truly ludicrous. And it insults George AND his horse. But you gave me a good laugh, thanks.

Steve, you are right, equating the two the things would be ludicrous.

Greg, glad to hear this is working out as best as it can. Still sucks you are paying for this at all.

I have been shot at three times, once with Uncle Mitch by my side, now that was a thrilling night.

Some small experience with this, and you are right, it is hard to beat the warm feeling... And thanks for remembering Nelson !
