Default What am I Jinxed...!

So like I said in previous posts I bought my S2k about a month and a half ago, and since I have had it, the car has been in the shop longer than I had it. It went to the body shop because some guy backed into it...and I have been driving my wifes Si. So yesterday is the big day when I can pick my baby up and install all the goodies that are sitting in my spare bedroom that I have ordered over the last 2 weeks...
Neuspeed springs
Shift Light
Front OEM lip spoiler...

So you can imagine how excited I am when they call me yesterday to come pick pick her up.
So on my way to the body shop, I get a call. Its the body shop guy saying theres a problem...hmmm...Im like what are you talking about. He tells me that after they completely repaired my rear quarter panel and were buffing it out one of the bodyshop guys rubbed his belt against the same quarter panel....he happend to have a paint scrapper on his tool belt, which put a deep inch long scrape on the exact piece they just repaired.....AHHHHHH!!! I was sooooo pissed. So it looks like my car is goign to be in for another 3 days....Can you blieve that....dang is this a sign or what??

Go see the car... So you can decide if they are being truthful. Maybe they wrapped it around a tree... Likely not but I would verify.

It's a ten minute install in a home garage. That wouldn't make me feel much better.

A nice discount on the paint work to go back towards that deductible could be nice though.

They left the top down on mine and oversprayed the whole interior.

whatd they do to get it off, oversrpay on a dash is a bitch to get off, its better to just get a vinyl guy come in and spray the spots with overspray but its $$$
Again run to the body shop dont even call just show up, 3 days is ing ridiciouls we paint complete cars in 3 days
