Default Checks Muffler Dump

I went to checks muffler dump today, after a long 2 week wait. (set up an appointment).

I get there and waited 45 minutes because some girl was stupid enough to pay these retards 100 dollars to put a serpentine belt on her car.

I tell them what i want to do with the car. I told them i want them to make me a 2.5" system without the catalytic converter.

The Fun Part: I watch these three complete morons try to raise my car up on a lift. It takes them 15 minutes just to get the lift beams under the car because of the short wheelbase.

Then they look at the car and say "is this made out of fiberglass?" i said "i'm pretty sure its fiberglass or some kind of plastic" Dumbass #2 looks at me and says "there isnt a frame under this so we can't raise it up unless you sign a waiver stating that if the car would be damaged (he mentioned the plastic cracking in half and thought it was really funny because he started laughing) that they could do it.

I left.

The scary thing is, it's getting like that at a lot more business of all kinds now. We've got a generation of morons with their pants half way on, that don't know how to do anything except play video games.

there i was in dumbass land surrounded by "Greg" and his super-crew muffler welders.

I thought they would have at least asked "how low to the ground is this thing?" so they had an idea of what they were getting into. some common sense would have been nice.

NOPE! NOT AT CHECKS MUFFLER DUMP! WE CAN'T USE ANY COMMON SENSE SINCE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT CORVETTES ARENT LOW.
