    Well finally picked the car up from the body shop and almost all the trim is on. Next week I take the car for a complete new interior (note back window is still out as to put in new headliner).

    Wish the sun was out so you could see the blinding red.... anyway, the paint job quality turned out top notch. Will post picks when the interior is done... then the car will be sold to help pay for the kids college (one year's worth?)

    With the way things are today college is a must. The more you can get the better off you are going to be. In the long run it is a cheap investment.

    There are a number of programs/compaines that will pay for college. The most visible is with the various military systems. My brothers son is a local denist--college paid for by the Air Force. His childhood friend is a medical doctor specializing in the Heart--all paid for by the Army.

    With my education, all was paid for by the military or the government supported company that I worked for. They paid for tech school, BS Degree and a Masters. In a world where there is no free lunch. College is a whold different issue. Look around there may be a reasonable way to have both.......

    I have all my notebooks filled with notes, tests, homework, powerpoint presentations, and text books from 4 years of college sitting in a tub in the basement.. maybe even some old bar tabs, beer coupons and coeds phone numbers. thats an expensive tub. I could trade you the coupe for the tub if a 3.2 GPA is good enough?! win win?

    :woohoo:
