If they do more harm I will be very disappointed. I know it means nowt, but this particular MAACO has a 5 star rating.

Macco as a national brand has a pretty god warranty on their work. But make no mistake about it Macco is a car repair factory. Attention to detail is sometimes over looked. As well as the paint came out on my car there were little things done in the prepping and reassembling of the car that wasn't done. In my case all I needed was paint. I'm sure the Macco you are using ca pull the quarter panel out. The question is how smooth will they be able to get it so it can take the paint properly.

Side question: Those pcmia memory cards that go in our cars are selling on amazon with 128gb cap. Will a 128gb function in our cars?

When you need to ban someone on a Vbulletin forum who keeps creating new user IDs you can block a range of IPs. Sometimes that inadvertently sweeps up some users unintentionally. With the number of page views you're generating I'll be surprised if they don't give you a medal.

I paid $16 for it. The $84 difference will go towards get the smushed back end straightened.
If life is a journey, then I want to get the most out of it before I get to the final destination.

Since you like experimenting with your wreck....he's a little experiment you can try to see if it works. Buy the PCMCIA adapter card and purchase an SD Bluetooth transmitter for the card to see if you can possibly stream music to it. I've always wondered if that would work and have never been able to find an answer.
Here's an A2DP enabled PCMCIA Bluetooth card you can try:

You would be a pioneer in this respect as I don't believe anybody has ever tried to use the PCMCIA slot as a music streaming device.

Great looking S550. From the looks of the two stickers in the front wind shield, it looks like it was registered in NY? if it was, I'd surmised that the damages were the result of a bad parking job probably by a parking attendant in NYC(NYs' are known for going full derby when parallel parking) just kidding. overall it think its a great investment. can't wait to see what you'll do with it.

Experiments usually have funding from backers.

Well, then, you could just get a long bungee cord and hook it from the trunk lip near the backlight (rear window) all the way down to the bottom of the bumper. Then opening and closing the trunk won't require a box cutter and a new roll of duct tape.
