Default custom body work by a stranger

So I bought a 2010 brand new off the lot 3 months ago. I absolutely love the car. I have been wanting to do a ton of stuff with the car, specially after seeing all of the great cars on this site and reading all of the stories you all have. So I finally did it, and here she is in all her glory. I had been waiting till i had the money to do some custom body work but it appears someone on the 101 decided theY wanted to help me a bit. whatcha think? Looks good right? I am soooooo pleased!

This. I myself would look for something in the RWD category, I still want me an AE86, or I'd get a second gen GS300 or Lexus LS4xx. I really just don't want to be stuck with car payments for another 5 years.

I was getting ready to take the off ramp when some woman on her cell phone blasted me. i was doing about 20mph cause traffic was slow in that lane. she hit me at close to 60 they estimated. Im fine just super mad about it all I guess. I havent even made my third payment yet. So after the insurance adjuster tells me what they think I Guess i will go from there.

There is nothing wrong with the genesis at its price point! I like the looks. out of the box performance is a lil low but at that price what do you expect. Very good potential though! But If you dont need a back seat i would look at a used 350z or an S2K. But thats me! GL with the insurance and your future ride. I would move on even though you just got into a Scion. You will be better off with something else IMO!

^Know what, QFT! I do love my tC(this is my second after my first got hit and spun around) but sometimes think of the potential cars I could have got(when going for trade-in) used at a similar price range, cars considered were G35 and 2nd gen GS300, GS400.

Don't get the 2011 TC. I dont find it attractive at all. Are you going to get some money back for the damages?

Let us know how it turns out (what you replace the car with, etc). I'm glad you're okay at least.

Well first off, thanks for the suggestions and the concern! just kinda nice to talk to some car people to see what other people have to say. In regards to what i will do im not sure. i finally got a lil info from the collision repair shop. my adjuster wont be there till wed so im kinda stuck till then. they did however tell me that its estimated at around 10,000 in repairs. so........thats that.
