Scion Driver.
This is sort of a bummer
My 94 Coupe's been in the shop for a couple of weeks getting painted... can't wait for the paint, but I'm getting a little tired of driving around my Daughter's Scion XA.... for sure.
Maybe it'll be back next week.

Slap a 300 shot of Nitro on the Daughter's Scion XA...that should give you the power your used to.....the suspension may also need some upgrades though. Hang in there big guy! Post some pics of the new paint once you get it back.

I am shopping my 86 Vette around for a new paint job. I was wondering where your Vette is being painted and if you don't mind what price you are paying. I got 2 quotes so far, 1 shop said $4000 to $6000 and the second said $7500 and more if I need the emblems and rubber gasket for the rear part of targa along the window area. I want 2 more quotes.
The paint will be the same stock color.
Thanks, and post pics when you are done.

I'll post pictures when I get it back and give you a first hand report, and mention to him that you're out there... He's painted other cars for me... and if I let him know that you come through me.. he'll probably be pretty competitive.

It's actually being done at the MAACO facility in San Jose (Tully Road, across from the fairgrounds). The owner is a personal friend and he and I have been trading favors for decades, so I don't really have a quote. He used to own a corvette, I think it was a C4, and sort of dared me to let him do mine.... so I just gave it to him... and didn't even tell him what to do... it's gonna be interesting when I get it back.
