I don't mind every two weeks asking for an update, I get along with all the people at begi, and no one cared about my trip. I spent 30 min talking about projects and I saw the car briefly since it was a Friday at 415pm and everyone was getting ready to go. I stayed till the only people that were left were myself, Corky, steph, and my fiancee left @ 5.05pm.
Plus I have family in SA that with the proper motivation could take a drive if asked as a favor to me.

All I ask in return is support, not negative comments or remarks as why I didn't ask this or not when no one ever mentioned it in the 1st place. I plan on returning to visit the shop on October or November if they are not done by then.
