We just picked up my bros Benz today from Maaco or w/e they are called in albany. The work they did was amazing, the car was a wreck before paint wise, and the body had some holes and dents and the trim was a mess… Now the car looks 100 times better. It was a creme yellow before, now its deep red/maroon and it really brings the chrome out. The car is just awesome IMO ![http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=43](http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=43) ![http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=42](http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=42) ![http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=44](http://shift518.gom-host.com/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=44) More pics later when its brighter outside… Alot of you seen me drive the car to the lot and to LVD a few times, it has interior from a 90 something benz i forgot what model, but its a 80 300sd turbo diesel. Now the car is going to get the engine rebuilt as far as I know, or something. ---

Nice! I remember seeing it when I was at your place working on my cell… Your mom asked if you were going to stay home, you said yes, then bounced… Hopped in the cream car, and hauled off! ---
