Same old story.
He is pittling with it when he has little else to do. It's got some primer on it and after I mentioned a few times recently that he'd had it about a year and a half he noted that the slot it was in would have made more money doing normal insurance jobs over that year and a half. Which, of course, means nothing, but it sounds good...... The "I'm taking one for you" statement.

Basically, I'm along for the ride. If I move it, I'm screwed, as far as dollars go. Leave it and he gets paid by my insurance company and the $2000 agreement we have for painting the part of the car not painted by Hagerty.
