$7000 paint job
A 7 to 12K paint job on a 7K car seems a little extravagant,
but hell what do I know.
It would have to be something very special that I could see a big return on to spend that kind of money on.
I'd rather flat black it and spend my money on performance
upgrades and another car, bike or toy to play with.
Let the big dogs with their trailer queens go to the shows so
every broke dick with 8bucks to get in can point out the flaws.
