[Shotimes] Mike's wreck pictures are up

[Al Fitz]

But John, this is Nebraska where you can still by a nice house for $40,000.
The cost of living here is very low in comparason to more urban areas. My
body guy has been doing this for 20 years and does some nice work. How can
you judge a paint job by it's price? You would have to see the work before
judging it.

Anyway, I've been using him for years and he does a good job.
