    Sooo many opinions! That's why I asked.

    Back in the day, I once did car stereo installations. Living in Texas, the summers were the biggest beating you could imagine. The garages would sometimes get upwards of 110 degrees. I remember doing a couple pretty involved installations, with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. I always put the care into it that I would expect someone to put into my car. There IS a charge from the installation shop (and most places) but only a percentage is given to the installers.

    It shocked me how many people tipped. I'm glad they did because the cut I was getting from the shop was next to nothing when you consider some of the installations could take multiple days in 100+ degree heat. That part time summer job made me think about things like this more...

    Well played... hahahaha.

    But if that's NOT the case, I would love to be the ball driller. I don't know much about it, but if you let me and my leaf blower stand at the end of the lane where the pins are, you might get that 300 game you're looking for! Perhaps even a 900 series?
