Ok, I Misspoken! I have a '99 gr. Ch. Ltd which is (Baboon assed) RED). Ok well cared for, and I might have done the same. Alll I mean is that those of us that have these McLarens, of whatever mintage, have to be realistic not anal: US manufacturing being what it is, one has to just put up with Mini-wage employees. No? Forgive me Sandy, but my father had a brand new Chrysler 1950 Windsor. It had some incredible rattle in it. Guess what? A coke bottle in the passenger door. Excuse me but I have had a lot of Fords in the past 40 years and I haave gotten quite forgiving of them.
So, what ever , I did not mean to be offensive and I certainly appreciate your help and many others of this web-page. So just take it easy and if I go to far, just piss in my hat and let us keep on being friends?

Sitting in my son's Cherokee at a shopping center, this foul mouthed
female pulls in next to me in her sky high Puick Rondeaview (sp?)
Sport Puke, and exits thrusting her door into the side of the little
cherokee. It bounces off the cherokee and returns to rest against
the cherokee. I hop out yelling and pointing to the small dent it
made in the flat sheetmetal. Wild & thinking the car will never
match again (paintwise) the now yelling back at me bitch says, "Hey,
Man......"It's just a car!". I quickly calmed down as I knew my
course of action to follow. She walked off in a HUFF (as though I
was in the wrong)! I pulled out of the parking spot and drove slowly
past her so she should see me leaving. I watched her enter the mall.
I circled around and pulled back into my space, calmly exited the
jeep opened the tailgate, removed my small hammer and proceeded to
bust both of her Puick's taillamps into shredded red plastic. Hey,
it's "just a car". Thank God for dent Dr. he removed the dent to
utter perfection, and nobody could ever locate where it was hit.
$135.00 ('bout the price of 2 taillamps!) 'Ya you touched a nerve
allright... Just a Car.....Just $26,500 left in the parking lot. I
don't think so.
