Hey Ron, we should tighten that driver’s door today.

Well the starter died today 5 minutes before I had to get one of the kids from school, push started it and took it to the shop, got it going and headed for KCW! I called Franz and there was a bay open, whoo hoo! By the time I got to the shop put it on the lift and removed the last bolt on the bad starter the new one Franz had ordered came in the door! Perfect timing to say the least! I put the new starter in and it fired right up, after Franz had me switch the wire in the starter. Lol. Anyway the bug is awesome but not as AWESOME AS FRANZ! and KCW and EVERYONE THERE! I could never thank them enough for everything they do for everyone everyday!

Bummer about the starter, but you’ve gotta love that KCW turn around time. There is no other place on earth like it!

Start doing what ever the hell you want, can’t wait to see this done!

Yeah been kinda locked down with all this shit going on and works been a mess. First thing was social distancing and no more than 10 ppl in the store and no one could touch or smell anything. Then no one was allowed in the store at all and it was drive up only you weren’t even allowed to get out of your car! That slowed things down a bit to say the least, so we started doing on online ordering to try and speed up the process and it’s helped a ton.  As of  of 5:00 tonight no cash transactions/exchanges of currency are allowed outside the building so everyone has to come back in like normal but now we have been required to go to half the staff and have a 6’ buffer between us and the customers. I work tomorrow should be fun, I have Wednesday off so I’ll stop by in the morning.

Good to hear your place of employment and you are adapting with the current situation.

When was the last time you owned a beetle Ron?

We will build it if it comes.

Glad your alive and healthy..  I imagine your daughter didn’t move to Moab now??
