$800? I think he got ripped off by about 799.50

Saw this at storage facility I was detailing a limo at today. This Grand Am has been there about a year at $45 per month. The lady working there said some guy bought the car late last year, brought it to the storage facility where it has sat since. Huh?

wow... those tires need to be dressed BADLY. Why someone would buy a junker and then pay 45 a month to store it is beyond me.

You got any pictures of the limo scott?

Yeah, on my 35mm camera. Turned out real nice too. Hyper Compound on the hood and trunk lid, Optimum on the whole car, followed by Vanilla Moose and Natty's Blue. You will just have to wait until I finish the roll in my camera though.


I took those Grand Am pics with my camera phone.

Why? I already have the 35mm camera, it takes great pics and for $9.16 at Walgreens, I get the negatives, prints and picture CD.

Definitely more aggressive, finishes down decent but obviously not as good as Optimum polish.

Man that thing is NICE!!! Gotta love a orginally done pontiac. lol J/K

So Scott, $9.16 includes how many prints? I have been wanting to create book of some of my work, but dont have a good enough printer and dont want to pay a huge sum of money going to kinkos or something. I would also assume that you can take them a CD or USB drive with pics and just have them print them, right?

1 print each, I think it is a couple bucks more for double prints.

I can get prints from the CD but quality is best if done from the negative.
