body shop screw-up
My other baby ( my dad THINKS the Suburban is his, but it's mine
) just got back from the body shop from gettin rear-end
and the ma-roon got paint on the tires... not bad but it's white so when you're up close you can see it... any ideas on how to get it off?

Laquer thinner...or better yet, take it back to the shop and give them a chance to fix it instead of griping about it. When you stare at a car all day long, sometimes small things will get by. I am sure they would be more than willing to take care of it for you.

whoa.. you took that all wrong.
i was paying you a compliment on your post... and commenting on how it didn't seem to fit in here because hardly anyone else seems to look at things sensibly around here.
the first part was not meant to be sarcastic.. just the second part.

sorry man, really, I worked a long shift and am headed back in...once again...I apologize. Now I feel like a dick. 
Feel free to chastise me if we ever meet in person. consider this a written, public apology.

yeah, because with four drivers and six jobs and three cars we can really afford to send it back to the body shop AGAIN.

lol, got no clue what it means... It sounded smart though. especially through microsoft word's thesaurus. hehe. 
imperinent = rude or impolite
integrity= truthfullness or honesty
arduous= hard/difficult
syntax= sentence structure/grammar
There ya go!
