You'll be fine as long as you don't sit in a lot of bumper to bumper traffic.

Luckily there isn't much over here. I don't smell much, of hardly any now. I have to be sitting for a few minutes already.

But I'm after the same sound that you are.

Where do you have your stock wheels/tires listed for sale?

[garner]

Think I have my stock 19s sold. Now thinking about selling the orh. I'm so iffy on increasing how loud the car is cause it's already loud to me(my trucks were super quiet). How much louder does it make the car?

Also thinking about doing pearl white accents and stripes instead of black but not sure how it'll look

[garner]

Well did my own mods today(the bad ones) so gonna see what parts insurance will let me upgrade. Supposedly geico will put the factory wheels back on(2 of the aftermarket are messed up) but that would be a lot more money so idk

oh no! hope it all works out in the end!

Got cut off, hit brakes while in a big puddle, hydroplaned into barrier, bounced off a little and tapped the other car into the barrier. Volvo only had paint scuffs from what I saw but mine had moderate damage



Front driver wheel missing a big chunk, at least alignment messed up(steering wheel between 1/4 and 1/2 turn with wheels straight), then body damage

[maxpayne]

So sorry to hear that my man. Good luck with getting it back to where it was. That freaking SUCKS!!!!!

[garner]

Thanks guys. Car should start getting torn apart tomorrow for an estimate, I'm guessing $5000 easy just based on what previous vehicles have needed and have cost at this shop. Plus the tricoat paint is gonna be expensive

Stupid f1 race at cota kept me from getting a rental this morning like promised, and they say I should have one in the morning but for all I know it may be a little yaris :/ lol

Gayness but, glad you were not hurt.

Thanks

Just got off the phone with geico, $5600 is the initial estimate on repairs. Now to wait for the estimate to get into my email, and start looking to see what can be modded

[garner]

Warning, never fuck up a 13+ headlight. Almost $1,000 for a new one. Glad I'm not paying that lol

[DirtyD]

Yup. You can find them for cheap though. There is one here on Dallas Craigslist that is like $350.
