    I think you made your point.

    "So when you coming over to detail my car?"

    And, you have to work with this door knob?

    Another reason I LOVE retirement, the only jerks I have to put with is only me (LOL).

    Good try though, his lost (probably for the better, all considered).

    1. Not necessarily. Also, he bought the Porsche used, and

    2. The joke was someone couldn't afford a Mustang, so they bought the Mustang II... definitely not the same

    Re: Detailing Rant

    Well its good to know we guided you correctly,, what a A$$ Hat! He is the effin ID10T! wow.

    This guy sounds like a Audi owner I know of, (I know his wife), He would rather drive to a dealer 2 hours away for their "detailing" guys to do his car. I tried to explainn that I'm not in a production mindset and guaranteed him My job would look better and how about wee meet for a beer and talk some more. He has not followed through.

    Same mentality,,,,
    (and the wifes we cant afford that right now ,,, OK well no harm in he and I having a beer this weekend,,, Well he is going flying,,,,) Wait! a tank of AV gas is way more $$ than what I charge! LOLOL

    Sounds like this guy don't deserve having a bunch of "idiots" fixing his car. Some people really amaze me with comment like that.

    At least I can say I really tried to help this guy out.

    His loss. I'm really glad we all aren't wasting our time on his car during my detail weekend. You are all too classy to waste your time with that.

    It worked out because now we can work on my friend's Mustang who will REALLY appreciate it. When I told him I'd like to use his car next weekend he asked how much... I told him nothing, all he had to do was drop it off and pick it up. He was so excited he hugged me.

    I love the bit where the guy who knows nothing about cars (and could possibly be described as an idiot) won't let a bunch of OCD detailers work on his car because they are "idiots".

    Why don't you let the Mustang owner hang around, maybe put him to work running the grill or something?

    I would have to walk away from someone like this. I don't know that I have the people skills to continue being nice to someone who is uneducated and won't let a group of knowledgeable people polish their car.
