OT: Showcars/Bodyparts, since it's slow

Cathy,
Yeah you will be in this with these guys for quite sometime (talking from 
experience here).
Good luck and I hope everything works out in the end for your son!

Make sure your son knows that direct shipping doesn't necessary mean to your 
door either!  I don't want to go into it, but it pisses me off that this 
showcar/bodyparts is still around!

GL,
-Brian
