Funniest Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Princess Auto)..........

I put the 09 Fit back on the road. Listening to Sirius XM, I heard a lot of buzzing coming from the back. Shit like this drives me nuts, so I pull into the parking lot at Lake City. I switched to FM, no buzz.......... I haven't listened to a CD in quite some time, so decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, it was a Powder Blues CD. I had the volume up high. This car pulls up next to me and older couple get out. They were dropping off their daughter (I think?). Anyway, they hear the music and they start to dance to it (Swing). Other people show up and they start to groove to the music. Weird, but enjoyable. The power of music, eh?

The song playing at the time was this one.

Spoiler!


I guess it was a burned copy (compilation) of their hits. 'cause it's not on the Uncut album, which I listen to often. It was kind of neat to see the smiles on the couple's faces.

Spoiler!

No response from Reformed Design just yet

But so far

Vancity Vinyl - 4 calipers 500 bucks cash. They do not disconnect from brake line and its done at a bodyshop. They'll mask everything, spray it, and then bake it with IR

I was hoping to see if somebody will do a properly as in a full disassembly, remove the brake lines, mask all the gaskets, etc. But i think the cost will go up significantly if they do that.

^ well, we wouldn't show up all at once, right? By appointment time. Takes 1/2 day at least?

Wouldn't hurt to ask, if I can bring a group of 4 other friends, could we have a discount of 10%?

Just DIY the thing. Clean/prep. Mask the pistons/seals and anything that contacts the pad. 2 coats caliper paint, 2 coats of 2K glamour clear

Generally, how long is the warranty on paint work at autobody shops?

I noticed some paint is starting to flake off. It's clear coat underneath though, so most likely they didn't bother sanding down the oem surface during prep and just sprayed a new coat on top.

I think it depends whether it's an ICBC claim or not... they have their own standard for repairs that they hold shops to.

If not related to a claim... then you'd have to phone the shop you got it done at to see, they'd have their own policy.

I could probably see if Jason could do a group buy for us. If not maybe I could ask Jordan @ TheDipDr. I need my calipers repainted too, after track. I wonder how yellow brake calipers look on a red car.

Could anyone recommend a hard drive destruction/shredding service and cost?

I'm looking to recycle some computers and want to/prefer to have the data properly destroyed. Thanks!

Anyone have any suggestions on the best place to buy a shotgun at a decent price?

Cabela's, Reliable Gun, etc.?

I'm out the loop on this stuff, are trade shows any good in Canada for used firearms?
