Greg responded: Mike,
Sent your car to a vocational school for a paint job and
bodywork I
assume? You'll have to tell us how it turned out. Could be your car
joined in the holiday tradition and gained a little weight.
Ho Ho Ho
Hope it all goes well,
Greg
Cute! Do I have nerves of steel or the brains of an academic! Actually,
as a "teaching professional" not an "academic" (actually it is all
academic), I would not have trusted my car to a voc center without
knowing what they were doing to it and without trust in the instructor.
The guy didn't get a degee from some technical program, and then go into
teaching, he ran his own successful shop for 30 years.
Students don't have the money to do cars right today and he won't allow
"backyard mechanics", so he would rather have a car to do right. If more
educational institutions at all levels had this attitude, the work world
would be better off. (no flame intended).
