Not quite as good as the Silver Diner in Reston but certainly doable. When?

The body shop still has it but I am supposed to pick it up Friday.

It was supposed to be 1 1/2 week turn around that has taken exactly 5 weeks today. Oh well, I'd rather have the work done well as opposed to a rush job.

No, I took it to EuroSport Auto Body in Lorton as I knew that they had experience in doing this. JagcVette had his car done there and they did an outstanding job on it, including matching the Mag Red II paint.

Unfortunately, the manager (guy working on my car) has had some significant medical problems which through our schedule off track.

Okay, how does everyone feel about Thursday, 26 April? That gives our favorite doctor a chance to recover after lying on the beach at Coronado and is our normal "Thursday" GTG.

Plus, it should be sufficiently far out so that I can have my car back from the body shop.

Works for me, but I doubt it will be warm enough to lie on the beach there. Sea lions have the area staked out anyway.
