Tauni, if you plan to stay here with us on the boards, you should try your best to use correct grammer, spelling, and real words. The mods cry about it when we dont make sense because its hard to read ( I get it now, took me a long time

).
You dont even have to bring your car to the cookout. You can just go. Its to hang out, you dont have to show off your car. You can just look at other ones! Then you could meet a lot of people on the boards and get aquainted with some of the local shops. Where are you from in mn? If you previously told us, I must have missed it!
To each their own, if you want something done to your car, do it. Dont listen to anyone else. Even if its a body kit.. ugh!
