try doing a lot of stretching and try to keep your body strong and in good shape, you need to make your muscles that support your neck stronger(this is what my doc tells me)

poor car, that's why i don't want to put TOO much money into my car...idiots on the road make a priceless car actually priceable...people like XXSTi at a young age are silly because they forget how idiot people can crash into them..and bye bye investment, i'm saving up for a green and injectors and that's it for my car...i mean that's IT; wayyyy to much spent by me already, i feel like an idiot myself

keep me posted on your neck and what not, i have some techniques from my physical therapist that might be helpful to you

Damn that looks like a half-assed repair. Definitely make it clear to them that you won't accept the car back until it looks perfect.

WOW is all i have to say. That is totally not acceptable. Just a side note make sure you write down the mileage on the car. When i took my car to the body shop it returned with more miles then it got there...

man bro seeing those pics are depressing. before joining the military i was a bodyman before becoming a painter. that is one piss poor job. painting is the easy part. it's the time and prep that is put in before the paint is sprayed. it's written all over your ride that they had NOT taken their time on it. i would take that as disrespect and i would be furious if i saw this done to my car. i would tell them do you think im stupid to accept my car back after a job like this? sorry i got a lil carried away but i hope all works out bro
