dont bother sending those papers Lars.....i sent my vette to Corvette World in Rancho Cordova, Ca and yet another "WONDERFUL" job they have done, they just out-do themselves everytime they get my vette in their possesion. they managed to fry my wiring and then say its gonna be about 2400 for interior,exterior and ac harness' plus labor, which f^&king pissed me off. i ave no choice but to do it and since its never been done i figured its about time. but its like these retards dont know what their doing. they f-ed up my pass. window so now it goes down and up and lightening speeds...and my friggin doorlocks are BACKWARDS!!!, to unlock you have to turn it in the position of locking it, visa-versa....yet i still go back to stil idiots cuz they are the only ones in town that have the know-how. i guess im just really angry that ive saved all my money up and now it just went down the tubes in a single shot.

Can someone chear me up and make me feel good about my "forced-purchase"?

Sorry to hear we predicted that one coming... wow. I should have had you ship the car out here - we actually could have saved some money even with the trucking costs.

Suggest you start drinking heavily.

I've never heard of an entire wire harness "frying." It's possible to toast individual circuits, but it's hard to believe that the entire vehicle harness has been destroyed... did the car catch fire..? That really sounds strange to me... Sure you don't want to ship it out here?
