What did you do at work today?

I am sitting in on a telecon with all the senior brass in the "company"... and it's running long (not surprised). But, my couch is soft, and my new slippers just showed up from Amazon (sooo.. cozy).

I wonder if they had insurance and the claim was declined or they did not want to report it....

Didn't have any and payed cash for the car. Now there paying for it again

How true. The wife and I have an '03 Ford Focus, that I had an accident with in 2013. Creamed the front left fender, and the strut on the left. The body shop did an excellent job. The only way to tell is that the left headlight is crystal clear, while the old right headlight is dingy ,and needs polishing. Of course, being a Focus, it went T.U. in 2016 when it dropped a valve seat.

This one looks better already. It's kinda a time filler when I have nothing else to do and I got to set up the new used parts on it this morning and welded it up

I’ve had this guy on the rack for two weeks now, the owner bought it wrecked and disassembled it himself. Yayyy!
It’s a 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo that was wiped across the nose. It was still lot drivable when we got it. I had to put a front frame structure on it and currently trying to figure out where all the pieces go.

Another basket case why dose everyone take them apart and just expect them to miraculously fall back together for the body man that never seen it in one piece?

Aluminum. The front structure alone, new from Lamborghini is $14k. The owner found a race team in Europe that had one, still paid almost $7k

It goes to show you that Instagram welders are full of bullsh*t self-importance when a $300K car was assembled with an aluminum spool gun MIG.

Ever seen the disasterous B is for Build Lambo "rebuild"? So cringe worthy.
