No and no, on the two questions.
I had no intention of having someone telling what I could, or couldn't do with my car. Have liability and comprehensive on it, with State Farm. Told the agent no on collision, why...who the heck would be able to fix it? Most body shops only know how to just order new parts!
There is one paint shop in town, that messes with the older cars, and he's a Mopar guy, too! This coming week, I'll order new tires, when they come in, take the car in to get them changed. Maybe I'll get a wild hair, and drop by his shop, for a look, and some high price...maybe.
Maybe, one of these days, I'll quit shaking my head, over this one.
