| Pics tomorrow. I hit a curb, then a pole. Damage not super bad, but hey, i pay for full coverage for a reason right? Broken headlight housing, blinker housing, front bumper and fender. hood misaligned a little. Wheel alignment is shit. long story short, 2k to fix. Pix up tomorrow before they haul it off. | |

| Yeah. My insurance covers up to 30 days of rental car so as long as I get it back by the end of January I am ok with it But really though, it's not a big deal. There isn't much damage and i'm just glad no one got hurt. Had it not been for the square curb I might have ended up flying into Alkali Creek from 150 feet up. :eek: | |

| Mostly I just wish they would let me tell them stuff to buy :p I mean, it is like, $200 for ONE stock headlight housing...or $240 for a sweet ass projector/hid combo. And if the hood is messed up a carbon fiber is almost always cheaper than a new OEM, after you factor in paint matching. It just seems like it would make so much more sense to me to have them just ask if there is anything i want done. I know that they need to it be back to factory spec for the insurance to pay for it but still.... | |

| Not to deter anything away from you Mike but this definitely is the season for wrecks. My buddy Andy with the white RS25 has been in 3 accidents (1 hit and run and 2 other drivers fault) this season. Hes still waiting for one guy to claim fault on one accident but Allstate is taking their sweet time with that one. | |

| Dude. Tell me about it. I got in my wreck at like, 11:35 yesterday, and a buddy of mine DESTROYED a pole on wicks at about noon. He didn't have full coverage though, so needless to say, there goes his envoy. | |

| Oh, and another quick FYI, the tow truck woke me up so I didn't snap any pics of the car before they took it. But maybe, just maybe...... toddy might be able to snap 1 or 2 when he is at work? If not that's fine, but if you could that would be sweet too. | |

| Dude, that thing handles like BALLS, and I feel every pebble on the road. It feels like the wheels are full rubber like on wheelbarrrows, and the suspension is just a metal rod welded to the frame.... | |

| Thanks todd. Ya, that's what I figured you would post up. Thanks for uploading those, and thanks again for all the help at the shop. I appreciate it. I'll give matt a jingle again tomorrow. What time does he get in in the morning? 8? I mean, i don't want to bug, but should I call around like, 9ish, or earlier | |

| We have a morning meeting at 7:30 that usually runs until about 8, so the best time to call is probably a little after 8 before he gets too busy doing something else. I think we're aiming to have it done next friday for ya | |

| I mean, my insurance is covering my rental for 30 days, so as long as it is done before the 23rd I won't care too much. Well........the 14th, so i don't have to drive the shit-mobile to college. | |

| Will do todderoo. I'm stoked to have some new headlights now though. Those stockers were getting pretty damn yellow. And SOOOO chrome and bright. Now I'll have a nice black housing projector setup lookin all sexy, with my new bumper all sexy without the dents. By the way, are they going to drill holes for the license plate bracket in the bumper? If possible I'd rather them not... | |

| Ya man, I bet they'll look killer!! And don't worry about the license plate holes. You didn't have a plate and bracket on when you came in so we won't be putting one on for you. I also checked in your file and put a note in there to NOT drill holes | |

| I've been pulled over 2 times for it. No tickets, no written warning. Once on the highway back from mike's house, and once on 1st ave at like, 1 AM(I'm sure the douche cop was just looking to write a ticket for no insurance or drinking or something). | |
