Only in Seattle...

Obviously economic cutbacks have led to some people changing their ways.

Maybe this and this will explain why I never thought I'd see it.

A small part of me died that day.

I will lose some sleep over this one. :blink:

Simple explanation:

The replacement part is on back order.

The "trusted" body shop is booked.

A little "Hundred Mile Per Hour Tape" is better than having the cracked/torn piece blowing off going down the highway before the repairs can be done.

If it were mine, I'd do the same repair and keep driving it until it went to the shop.

Maybe they are from Alabama. LOL :lol:

Did you check the plates?

We call that Alabama chrome down here. :lol: :lol: :lol:

ROFL !!!

I hadn't heard that one in years.

Commonly also found as the latch for the <whoever is being picked on> Samsonite set.

DB9, what a RIDE!!! :yahoo:

I'll give him credit, they wanted to continue to fly in the ride Vs get it fixed etc. Now it looks like a race car.

Oh dude, you have no idea how I wish that was true.

I actually did hang around long enough to talk to the driver. Peroxide blonde, 30-40'ish... when she hopped in I said, "Damn, I wish I was driving that car now... then I'd have the girl AND the car" and we had a bit of a laugh. No, that was not a part on backorder fix... unfortunately. It was a, "I haven't gotten around to even looking at it, and this will do until I have to put some more tape on" fix.

But I never did think of it that way. As a side note, her comment was, "The DB9 is a terrible car to do your shopping in... completely unpractical." We offered to trade it for an Acura RSX, which unfortunately she declined .

I'd like to have you.... errr... or meet you

 

[ponyfool]

You thought enough to take pictures of the car and not her? What the hell is the matter with you????

 

[Tenchi]

@ponyfool: I never said she was GREAT looking. Too old for me... but seriously? A woman driving a DB9?? Doesn't that just scream, "Was his, now mine... all mine..."?

I can't imagine how a 30-40 year old could be to old. At 60 that is sounding pretty good.

 

[spalkin]

It looks fantastic! Durable and replaceable. Nice work, too. See how they followed the body lines. Good stuff!

 

[bluejag]

When you can afford a DB9 there is no parts backorder pull in with the banger...drive out with a new one!

Oh well it was dirty anyway LOL
