[urq] Urq paint job update

[Brandon Rogers]

IMO, pissing him off will not benefit you.    I would go in, sit down, and 
have a nice, calm yet serious talk with him and remind him that you need the 
car by the weekend prior to UPG.  That way if he runs past a couple days 
you're OK still.  I would find out why there has been the big delay - and 
talk about what he will do to get the car done.  Let him know that yes you 
know he messed up and up to now its OK  - but now he really needs to finish 
the car and get it out of there.

FWIW when I had my car painted in '99, I used to drop by every week to take 
pics.  I usually brought a case of cold beer, too.  The guys were pretty 
appreciative...
