That's not the stupidest thing you've ever said (that's a separate long list) but that's not how this one plays out.

If you met or saw what Jim Pettigrew has done and can do, you'd understand.

Thankfully not everyone is destined to be like Gaetano.

Thank you, and just seeing Payton's car there solidified my confidence in this decision.

In hindsight, regarding the the last 2 shops I worked with, I don't think they were bad decisions at the time. One seemed riskier than the other and I kinda knew that going in, but I was willing to take that risk at the time. It happens. Even Weld doesn't always make the right decision. See Steve's Auto Repair job on his '32. (Sorry Greg - just for context!)

One way or another, this is the last stop.
