Replacing plastic back window..going to a local guy FORGET IT MAN
Well, that’s irritating. I called a local guy to see if he had the plastic for the backwindow of 84 cabrio. He said, yes, 50 bucks, but it’s really hard to install. I said I know, I put the top on myself—I know it’s hard.
Anyway, he kinda talked about how hard it is just to replace the back window on the phone, but he would sell one for 50 bucks.
So I went down there. 4 miles = 20 minutes in LA--one way. He was palsing around with some guy there to pick up an Aston Martin for a customer..but didn’t say “hold on…” I’ll be with you in a bit. He just said, he charged 400 to do a new back window, and it takes two days, and how hard it is, and kept saying how must he respected my ability to do it myself, while he shot the ***** with the other yahoo.
BLA BLA BLA. I KNOW MAN.
And basically, he just let me stand there.
Second, he made a joke about “stealing the election”…I’m thinking, you fukking moron, I work on MY OWN CAR. THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES ME A REPUBLICAN.
Anyway, he just kept talking to this other yahoo while I stood around with my finger up my @sshole.…and finally, I was like fuk this. So, I said, hold on…and I just got in my car and left. Waste of 45 minutes.
He followed me out when I was on the road, and said “I have your back window..I just had to help the other guy” and I’m just like fuk it. FUK IT. I do not have time for this *****. If I can buy a WHOLE NEW TOP FOR 695$ why on EARTH would I pay 400 for just the backwindow? Read my lips: GEORGE W BUSH = I WORK ON MY OWN CAR BUDDY. We did not steal the election @sshole.
To make a long story short, I’ll just see if I can order new plastic online and autosintl. What a fukking waste of time. When you’re a small potatoes, DIY guy, you have to go to small potatoes, DIY places who just specialize in selling parts.
