Phillip,
Regardless of who is wrong and who is right, let me read back to you what
you just wrote:
1. A shop paints you car, you are not 100% happy with the job. You tell them
to fix the car or you stop the payment on the check. They agree to address
your concerns. So far so good.
2. You still stop the payment on the check? <== your screw up #1. 
3. They work to address your concerns. They find out they did not get paid.
You tell them it was not an accident and you did it on purpose. They are not
amused. In fact, they are now pissed off. <== your screw up #2. 
4. They have your car as a collateral for payment. You tell them to fuck
off? <== your screw up #2.  They have your car. You have #*$@!
5. Oh, but they still have your car. And you want it back. Badly. You did
not think of that before you told them to fuck off. You stick your tail
between your legs and come back to them with cash in hand to buy out your
car.

Phillip,
I can only assume they've done a decent job on the re-paint since you had
nothing bad to say about it. They pulled the dents you told them to pull.
They had the job done in a week (5 business days), just like they promised.
There were some issues with taped-off areas which they promised to remedy.
Now you go out and do absolutely EVERYTHING imaginable to screw the
situation up and make them hate you (short of impregnating show owners'
daughter). 

WHY?

Phillip, you've been driving around for at least TWO DAYS and 40 miles on 2
quarts of oil with oil level AND oil pressure lights on? 
Whose fault is that?
Oh, and the clutch has nothing to do with the engine oil level. But did you
check the transmission oil level?

Let me tell you what I think:
1. Your have the mentality of a high school student (probably are).
2. You neglect your car in the worst possible way.
3. When shit hits the wall, your spread it around with your tongue...

But obviously, none of it is ever your fault...

Yep, you should learn something from this experience. 
I doubt you will.

P.S.: intent (in-tent) 1. state of one's mind 
      Hmmm, how do you commit intent anyway?
