This was actually a couple days ago, on Monday, but anyway...
I picked up my 98 from the body shop...
Some nice person where I work was kind enough to get me a free repaint on the entire passenger side of the car (keyed the ENTIRE length of the passenger side). While it was there, I had them also repaint the drivers quarter. I had a couple small dents from the handlebar of my bike falling against it in the garage, and the paint was cracked pretty badly on the inside of the fender lip from rolling them.
They painted the driver's quarter and a grille that I had for a total of $300. I need to bring it back in a couple weeks after the paint has fully cured, so they can wet sand it and get rid of some orange peal. Otherwise, it looks awesome.
On the way home, though, I noticed that the steering all of a sudden felt very hard, and then I noticed the battery light on and the engine temp getting hotter. I pulled over and checked and found that the serpentine belt had completely shredded itself and was all over inside the engine compartment.
The owner of the body shop actually came and picked me up and took me to O'Reilly's to get a new belt and then let me use some tools he brought along to change it out right there on the side of the road. I was super grateful. Nice guy.
