Uh oh, 5K to repaint, just borrowed 3K from the 401K for this project. May be scrounging under the couch cushions for the rest!

This car is my second car/beater/daily driver - an expensive paint job would change it's status in my mind to "garage queen and weekend driver". As it has become an accustomed extension of my legs, feet, personality, ego, etc. - a cheap paint job just won't hack it, no matter how much money I lose (there go the emotions).

Woops, I'll just keep my turmoil to myself.
