hah i just went out to a lot up the street and had some fun. seriously everyone should do it. it should be a requirement of getting your license. how are you to know what your abilities are if you dont know your limits?

yea, im most likely not going to go throught my insurance, cause i think my deductable is 1000$ and this is no where close to 1000$ in damage. i know some one who i can get a black 99.5 bumper from for 200$ and the tail light should be an easy find. then i just need a dent removed. and its like it never happened..

yea on tuesday we got some snow about 3 inches that stuck, and thats all i was doing... from 7p-12:30a i was at a huge parking lot with 2 mustangs and a trans am. just doing doughnuts and drifting around the light post.. i had good controll that night.. just today was different. the snow was packed, and i moved from no snow to a snow covered road and i was turning. and it was in D, so from a dead stop im sure it shifted during the turn so that must have thrown me out of wack. my parents arnt mad.. they are just pissed that they have to lend me more money to fix my car.. only cause of the holidays and i need to spend money on my family not my car...

and it looks like my wheels are going to sit in my room till late spring. at this rate.. im going to have to owe my dad about 1300$

750 for the transmission, 200 for a bumper.. est50 for a tail light.. and a good 100$ to remove the dent

i have the same kind of dent in my car, shop told me its gonna be a bout a grand. you cant just pull that dent out. when it dented in, the metal stretched, and to get it back out, they have to beat it out from the back, and simultaneously heat the metal back to its original shape, then repaint the whole thing. and since your car is black? you cant just paint that section, you have to repaint the whole section because if not, later you will see where the two clearcoats meet.

Not necessarily. There are companies like DingKing and Dent Wizard that have some pretty cool suction abilities, and they are actually pretty cheap. But this depends on the dent and if there are any body contour changes in dent. Maybe i missed the pic of the dent tho.

I bought a trans from a junkyard with 43kkk miles for less than $1k. It was a bitch going in tho.
