matts88yj Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Detailed an Audi A4 yesterday in the slightly warm weather. Results were great. Customer then wanted a quote to do his 2009 Toyota Sequoia (aka the white whale as I've named it) and when I told him the quote he was a bit shocked. Funny thing is I'm actually cutting him a deal since he has been a customer of mine for 8 years now and never really increased the prices I charged him for those 8 years. I wasn't charging enough to begin with and finally I had to raise it up. Said customers brother works at a Volvo dealership and said he could have them do it for much less. I tried telling him I know what they won't do, I know what they will do to your paint and I can guarantee you that the results won't be what I do. He was mulling it over but I know he won't let me do it now simply because of the price. Oh well that's his choice to get his ride swirled to hell by hacks that don't know what the hell to use. Plus if it's the same clowns working there when I worked at Benz back in college, oh it's going to be epic. Might as well make some popcorn now. And since that detail has since flushed down the toilet, I now have nothing to do on Wednesday. Not sure if I should work on the Jeep some more, wash the car or just relax. The work-a-holic in me is going 10,000 mph right now. I never thought I would say this but I honestly can't wait until the 9-5 pays well enough that I don't need to detail anyone else's rides to make additional income besides my own and my better halfs. Sorry for the semi-rant. Still on my nerves a bit as I'm sure some of you can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8chick Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ya and then I got woke up by crack heads walking down the parking lot "saying wtf is that?!" with plastic baggies on their hands. I always wake up if I hear people, that way I can watch over the cars. Also found out that one of my old buddies rolled his truck and killed my other buddies gfs dad so sad.

I didn't think the cost of a wedding would be like the cost of living in Northern Virginia, EXPENSIVE! Good luck, I'm right there with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dv3andrs Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 My wife and I got tired of the pressure from the family to have a big wedding, so we moved it up to having only 3 weeks to execute the thing. She found her dress at David's Bridal for $99, we gave the church $300 as a donation for the small service and for using their little hall, otherwise family pitched in for everything else, out the door we were under 1k.

Good For You:cheers: Some people spend way to much time, energy and of course money to have the "perfect wedding" and they seem to forget what a wedding is actually about. My wife and I spent about $1500 total (some of it my parents paid for). Most of that was the cost to rent tables and pay for all the food to feed my large family.

Chewy Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I had the whole thing on my shoulders and spent 10 g's on it. That's nothing today, but it was a lot for me to spend on something that lasted only a few hours. I regret doing it... I'd have been happy flying off and doing it. Big weddings are only for people trying to prove something. Love is love... If it's there, the size of the wedding won't mean a thing.

JBlack151 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Got home early to clean up the house before the Mother In Law arrives from Tennessee for a few days. Still going strong on my cleansing diet to help with my back injury. Can't have any toxins for 3 weeks. I've had no alcohol, dairy, red meat, or coffee for 1.5 weeks. Half way there and I have no issues from my herniated discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
