This fucking moron deserves no reply, but i will humor you.

Lets me clarify there is a difference between me, A structural repair/body Technician and a 2 bit "bondo monkey" like your self, I not only have to repair dents, and scratches, but the actual inner structure including the Frame, full and unibody of the vehicle back to manufacture standards, following their PROCESS To a T. All my cutting ,welding, and replacing has to be percise and requires special tools to do so, espically when saftey is a MAJOR CONCERN, no one ever died cause of a bad paint job, but they have cause the Crush zones of there car were not repaired correctly.

What in the hell is a "dj" i hope your not talking about a DA Sander, which means DUAL ACTION..... My "dj" is my ipod @ work, sure as hell cant sand anything with that.

My tools are quality just like my work, i didnt buy the 100 dollar handy man special from harbor freight. My tool collection started over 6 years ago and i have about 40k not including my boxes to hold them all.

Heres SOME of my tools since you cant comprehend. Taken over a year ago so i have consoderably more, you never stop buying tools...








And this Is WHY i need the tools...



















The cars are a bmw 335i , infinity g35, bmw 325i, and Porsche cayman
So take your "bondo" and your 2 years of idioticy and shove it up your ass!
