Winston: Don't really care if they get the gender wrong, its just nice that they actually wrote get well lol.

Trying to find a car that'll be able to take my headunit :? This is hard..

 

dang sorry to hear that chels. good thing ur ok.

 

Always get gap insurance btw incase you car is totaled on the way home from the dealership They pay you the difference from a new to depreciated car so if your car gets totaled you have enough cash to buy a new one flat out.

I'm glad you're not seriously hurt, but it sucks for your car.

 

Chels, you're building it all up too much... you'll hate your car no matter how perfect the body/mechanical work is. I don't think I can say anything to change your mind... but all of the body work I've ever had done has been great.

I was the victim of a hit & run a few years ago and the insurance company wanted to total my car -- $8,500 worth of damage on a 15-year-old car with 350,000 miles on it. I ended up fighting it because I wanted it fixed. I had restored the car to near perfect condition and I couldn't replace it with the $2,800 they offered me initially. I sent them pictures and receipts from the restoration and they bumped it up to $4,500 but still considered it totaled. I got them to agree to send a 3rd party appraiser out to determine the value of the car, and the insurance company ended up writing me a check for jsut over $10,000 and giving me my car back. I got it fixed by a really good body shop, and that car is still on the road with over 500,000 miles on it... and it is still a beauty.

 

Oh I know I'm overracting, its hard not to. It'll look the same, possibly drive the same, etc. but.. bah! The body shop its at is really good at what it does so I know it'll come back looking like nothing happened.

Still, a good excuse/reason to move up a few notches in the car quality world

 

Well assuming you were 22 and fresh out of college when you got the car it must have been your first new car. People tend to get mighty attached to their first cars, especially Scion owners who customize them and really make them their own. Even if it looks brand new it's still "damaged goods" and nobody likes that. Aside from that there might be unforeseen damage that she'll always worry about down the line.

But I think me saying that makes her feel worse about the situation, so sorry :/

 

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of your dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think...

 

No second car, but this is the only car I've had that actually will look GOOD when modified lol. Trying to modify a 1999 Corolla will never ever look good.

You make my point for me

 

You got a brand new car at 14? hehe. There's a huge difference between getting a brand new car and a used one. Brand new one is YOURS and no one elses. The whole customizing thing just seals the deal. My wife always goes "Hey that's my car" when we see another one that looks like hers, but with us we never have to suffer the feeling of having the same car as everyone else.

 

Eh? Why do you think I'm so young? lol. I got the Corolla in 2003 (18yrs old) and got rid of it in 2007 (22yrs old). I've barely had my car for two years.

 

You being 14 was me referring to the fact that you mentioned it was a 99 so you'd have to be 14 in order to have had a new car.

That was my entire point though, that the xD was the first car that was yours and yours only. No one else to mistreat it, no one else to share any experiences with it, no one else to enjoy it.

 

Yea I realized that this morning.

 

You should see an attorney about that neck and shoulder pain. Might be able to get you a set of those Neb rims

 

i was 17 wen i got my xD and it was my first car and i love that bad boy lol moding just brings us closer together lol

 

Awesome. The shop has been having trouble locating a replacement wheel. Awesome. This means if they or I can't find one, I'm going to have to pick new rims and pay out of pocket for the other 3 to have matching ones.

Gdamnit!!

 

Nah, just put the spare on... it'll look AWESOME!

 

maybe you should buy a fin design. I met W_kary last weekend. pretty nice guy thats rather bitter about SL. his car is uber clean despite all the blue

 

Sucks, sorry to see that.

 

Even better -- go to your doctor and have them bill your auto insurance company. They can do that... I've done it myself and it really did speed up the process!
