I cut-n-pasted this from the "What did you do..." thread I originally posted my woes in:

Well, I got the news from my next door neighbor.

Original fine and points:

$845

6 points

He was able to get it reduced to:

$256.

2 points.

No dismissal. His buddy "Hizzoner 'da Judge" wouldn't hear of it. Can not/will not complain.

I have my neighbor's Lexus sedan in the driveway so I can start detailing it bright and early tomorrow.

And damned glad to have the opportunity to do it.

And even better: very, very little paint correctiom!
