Funny story..

I went to put some gas in my car and went inside to pay, behind me was a guy early 20's in a riced out civic. When I came out I saw him checking out my car, no big deal. As I am pumping the gas he comes over and says Nice Car so to be polite I say his is nice also. He then says he had heard of Brabus, Lorinser and of course AMG but he had never heard of DARTH and he liked his work. I could hardly keep from laughing.

I'm just going to ignore him. I think he may have been let go from whatever company he worked for as his car is in the driveway when I leave and when I come home and that is not usual. He always left before me and came home after, I assumed he worked in NYC and commuted on the LIRR.

My Wife made me send it back. She thought it was a bit much. So I am just not going to tend the garden on that side of the house past a certain point. Him and his Wife will be the only people that will see it all messy with weeds and such.
