Congrtulations on the new ride. Post pics when you get it. It's a good thing the TB was done because that would have to be done, and the control arms are just a tad expensive. Good luck with it.

Unbelievable!!! I've had the car for less than 24 hrs and I absolutely love it!!! So far it's everything I expected and more. I'm coming from driving an old beat up full size Bronco so this is a huge change for me.

Now...what happened....this morning on my way to work I turn down a side street to find a van racing up the block in reverse right towards me!! I slam on the brakes and am instantly rear ended by a jerk who was right on my tail!!! I couldn't believe it! Fortunately just my bumper took the hit and appears to be his paint more than anything. I didn't suffer any dents or anything but I might have lost a little paint. To say I was furious is an understatement. Now I have to break out the compound tonight.

Oh well, I still love the car and can't wait to take my first road trip!

That sounds like a good deal. Sorry about your luck. Id say thats about 263 steps up from a bronco! Even if its totaled!

Man, what a bad deal. Some people just don't have good luck. Make his insurance pay for it and go to a body shop.

Thanks for the well wishes. I should be able to clean the bumper up pretty good with compound. So far my love affair with this car continues, I never realized what I was missing! Expensive gas or not I just keep looking for excuses to get out and drive it.
