now you have a reason to drive down to LA and buy my FB which has been sitting for months. J/K,

Go for your interview then worry about the RX-7 later. $$ before pleasure.

That's a nice tree it looks all fluffy. Probably didn't even scratch the paint.

If the tree was on city property, shouldn't they foot the bill for the repairs?

thanks guys for your concern there is no major body damage everything is still intact there are some scratched in the paint looks like mostly in the clear coat, there are some deeper scratches in the paint not too bad but im picky and if the tree didnt fall on my car they would have never been there. besides for a 20+ yr paint job my clear coat was in pretty damn condition. im going to the city clerks office tomorrow if Rolls Royce doesnt want me in for further info and everything else.

oh and i think that the interview went well i ll know what there desision is by no later then tomorrow. what sucked is that it took me over an hour to drive from vallejo to oakland airport this morning!

no Rolls Royce fall through they led me on for about 2 1/2 weeks and then told me that they decided not to hire for the position anymore. i was tring to get on as an engine assembly and i was going to use the experince from that to get my A&P to make even more money there or go somewhere else.

luckly the isnt too far beyond fixing its got some dents on the hood and the paint has a lot of chip and scratches on the clear and color coat and i had my metal roof on when it happened (luckly) so thats dinged up too but i have the glass on right now. it will be fixed but its not number one priority i want everything mech in tune first b4 i go for paint.
