updates?

Yes updates! none of them good though.

The e30 went to the body shop with the condition that it be finished in under 2 months as I had plans to head back home for the summer. Body shop owner swears up and down that car will be finished in 3 weeks tops.

The car sits in a corner of the shop collecting dust and I keep getting excuses as to why it's not done. 1 week before I have to leave they finally get it started. At this point my patience has finally run out and I send a tow truck over to collect it.

The look on the shop owners face was priceless. When he asks why I am there for the car, I have to very slowly explain to him for the 5th time that he had a deadline, after which I would no longer be available as i was going back home. His response, more excuses and the golden nugget " I didn't think you were serious" ...go fuck a goat.

I took my car home in pieces and stored it. I don't know when I will get back there, but at this point I am tired of dealing with lazy man children locals. These people love to party but when it comes to work and keeping promises have no integrity.

My motivation to finish the e30 is 0. Not because I hate the car, but because I could not for the life of me find an honest or competent shop to work on the car. I visited over 20 recommended body shops. They either weren't interested or their highly bragged about quality could be beaten by a 2 year old epileptic child with a paint roller and a can of Dulux.

Honestly, I can say now that after years of dealing with people and businesses in the south of Spain that it truly is a 3rd world cesspool. :hitler:

I came home and promptly bought a Boxster to help bury the memory of the experience.

There, I feel better now.

It was a frustrating experience, but at least there is a happy 2nd act to this tragedy...namely the Boxster.

Let's see how the 3rd act plays out when I head back. Maybe I will lie down next to the remains of the e30 and take some poison, lol.
