I can't wait to pull up to a Duster at a light and yell over, "Nice Nova!!" And just when the owner is about to get all indignant, I smile and point at my Mopar hat. Not many Dusters around here, though.
As someone who has never done body work, I've got to say the scariest part to me is going to be the very time I put the sanding block to the car. Because as you said, you're committed now.
Do you have any pictures of the wrinkles?
I like that one! Might just give it a try since we seem to be having more and more folks wandering parking lots wanting you to fill out their "survey."
Now you're the type of neighbor I wouldn't mind having.
I used to not answer the door, but something inside me can't resist confronting them. I think it has to do with how they ignore my sign, so I feel the need to make it crystal clear that they aren't welcome.
I'd love to have the presence of mind to remain calm and beat them at their own game like that, but it always feels like such an affront when they intrude into my space and time. Good lord, I need to lighten up.....LOL.
