In before the lock...

And this thread will end slowly but painfully, similar to watching a slow train wreck happen.

We won't hold it against you since I've got the iconic Pheobe Cates pool scene permanently installed in my memory banks. Easy to lose focus & space out like Spicoli himself.
DOH!

No doubt, damn it, another one of my faves.. Last time I saw it I got busted for backing it up to see that scene again repeatedly. So funny because I said it in my head and I swear it was the voice of Spicoli.

"Alright... Who ordered the pizza!!"

LOL at the van/cloud scene as well..

Apparently, you have not been paying attention.

If you've never seen Rad you must do so immediately.

Again... I see everyone spamming and such, and I do not see WHY you are doing it.

In truth, there is a legitimate need for a thread that lists the BAD shops, and reasons to stay away from them...or are you all willing to let people loose their money and learn the hard way?

That's what the Vendor, Tuning, Service, and Parts Review forum is for. If you have an issue with a shop, handle it with said shop and then respectfully share your experience in a new thread. If you're looking at having work done, do research on the shop you wish to use. Posting/reading only "horror stories" is not a way to evaluate a shop. Therefore, this thread is worthless.

So bottom line, Matt, you're saying one should look in the appropriate area of the site for such input because We're Not Gonna Take It.

Oh... and Jacob, any luck on the Toledo chinchilla hunt? I say forget about chinchillas, you need to buy alligators. Try Burlingame's Alligator Emporium.

It was definitely FLI, but this was over 3 years ago. It's all water near a bridge.
