ot: My car is gone for 2 weeks

I was driving into a parking lot and this stupid guy was pulling out doing atleast 40km/hr...he pulled out in my lane as i was coming in....i knew for sure he'd hit me and it would be head on......so the idiot that i am swerved and swerved into a curb rather than into him...the guy peeled out of the parking lot and took off....... i panicked and didnt know what to do....the end result...i went up and over a 1ft curb in my lowered car.....the aftermath......4500 damage down to my car.....plus both of the rims on the passenger side have to be fixed.....
..........hows this for a crappy day

if u want picteures i can email them....they wont let me upload them

that sux... sorry to hear that... but glad that u r fine...

nice move though... rather pull aside and damage the car than to go head on and injuring urself eventhough it's the bastard's fault....

Feel sorry for ya, but hey, at least it's covered... But the insurance co will have you pay back the 4500 over your premium in the next 100000 years.

Speaking of bad stories, I have quarter size crack on my windshield from a rock that flew off of some minivan while I was only travelling at 60........ Out of no where.

Hoping to Apple Auto-glass it for now, but if not, there's $400 of money down the drain to replace my windshield... And that scratch from the pebbles a whiles back from the Go train bridge.

I think we're jinxed.

Agreed, OEM kit best for clean look. Of coz most of the other kits look nice too, suits each person's taste differently.

Rice is a loose term. It all depends on your preference. Don't have to worry about what some ppl say.

I'd say your car looks good... Albeit I won't do mine that way, I'd give you credit for your "design" of the mods. I'd like to do something unique and/or special to my car, but I don't have the money to spend on body kits and the ***** to do something outrageous like an aluminum wing (haha, sorry, that one had to be mentioned) so I'm stuck with a close-to-stock but lowered black coupe.

Mugen spoiler is nice. But easy to steal, so you better get alarm to protect it.

I've seen many cars with mugen "spoiler mounts" and the wing stolen.

Ah, ic... Still good. The only spoiler I think nicer is the Kaminari, but that one only looks good with the whole set.
