You're so right. But I don't expect geniuses to work for that pay, but I expect that they have a little interest in cars, and I expect them to understand that when a freshly painted car enters, that if they don't bother placing something to protect the paint, then both the customer and the boss having to pay get very annoyed.
I did include a small note when I left the car in their care, that among other things asked them to look out for my ebony alcantara interior. Guess I should have written not to use my roof as a workbench also, my fault...

And I'm in a sense the perfect customer, because I never try to get a discount, I just pay what they charge. I don't want them to cut corners for me. This deal was by the hour, so the longer they took, the more they would have earned. Stupid f.... (sorry for my language, still fuming...)

Had to do something not appearance related. So I installed my new Summit carb instead of the old Holley 600 and my new rocker arms. Both work fine. I haven't driven it, but the idle is better than ever, and throttle response is excellent. The Summit carb on my Pantera was the same, felt like +50 HP. No, I don't work for Summit...
