Now I know why people commit murder ...
Here is my 1 month old Civic thanks to a local redneck and his beatup old $1500 pickup truck. He shot across two lanes of traffic and slammed me as I was stopping at the light. Needless to say he was at fault ... but that doesn't make me feel any better. I was just about to put a new Magnaflow catback on this weekend. Now I just want to get it fixed and out of my sight ... permanently [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Rep Power: 0 I don't know what the total damage is yet (the pictures don't show most of it). I suspect there may be mechanical damage to the axle, steering rack and maybe the transmission?? I'm pissed. This jerk didn't even apologize and his sister was laughing. If the cop wasn't there ...they would have been painting an outline on the concrete ... of his body[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Looks like it's in the impound lot. If something like that happened to me, things would get heated for me too...especially if his **** hick *** was laughing...
So you're getting rid of the car?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, I am kinda weird about my cars in that sense. Once they've been violated like this, I just can't deal with keeping it. No matter how well they fix it, it will never be the same for me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]
It's sitting in the Police impound yard tonight, until we decide on a quality shop to do the repairs. His insurance is paying for every scratch on that damn car. The towing company F***** up the front lip and scratched the hell out of the trunk. Add it to the bill ...
Sorry for the temper tantrum gents ... I'm just tired of inconsiderated people.

Rep Power: 0 I'm not sure ... it depends on what the insurance does with it. I love the car, but based on how difficult it is to squeeze any power out of these new Civics, I may get something else. Not sure yet.
