Default Well wont have the car for awhile (pics)

The Wife and i were at a friends house hanging out. We parked the gxp on the street legally when we herd a boom i looked outside and there was a red crown vic with a 84 year old driver out side i looked further down the road and there was my car all crumpled up it didnt hurt the borlas under neith thank god, it did bend one of the pipes. It sucks you can see for yourself i have a few ?

1. does this void my warranty know that its been in a wreck
2. do you think its totaled
3. do you think the shop will fix the exhaust even though its not factory

man, those damn old ppl.. sorry to hear about that.. from looking at it, if the frame is not bend, they can replace many of those panels for you.. i would doubt it void your warrenty b/c its not ur fault.. as for the borla, i dont know.. if one part of the pipe is bend and the rest is fine, im sure they just replace that one piece by welding another piece on..

Sorry man!

Everything on my car was repaired / replaced except the doors, roof and glass - not totaled. Sucks that it happened but they will fix it.

My Mom's car was hit in the same manner.

Sorry to hear about your accident. As I recall, you were going to put a file up with how the Borla's sounded, but I never saw it. Any chance you have a link handy (I searched and did not find it)

anyway, I assume it will all be fixed up in a few weeks, I am going to be down that way for Mardi Gras, any chance of me hearing it in person? My buddy lives in Sunset Hills, but I come in from the East right down 44

Ouch, that sucks man. Good luck getting her fixed.

On a side note, do you have an exhaust sound clip? I've always wondered what Borla's would sound like.

Sorry hear about your Gxp. I just got mine back this past Friday after being in the shop for 40 days and $9000 worth of damage. I had custom tail lights on mine that I thought ins wasn't going to pay for that was damaged but they paid for them with no problem. So I think they'll pay for your pipes!

I have a set of mufflers I got from Heartthrob in Minn. installed. Only one running them afaIk. Nice idle, under load, and dead silent at cruise. I will be there on 2/20 (starting in Sauget, at Penthouse Club/Diamonds or PT's for lunch), will drop you a PM closer to then to see if a meeting can work out.

The other night i was coming home with my friedn in his car, mine was in the driveway. when we pulled up he was lookin down or somethin. meanwhile i see a hooded figure run through my yard so i chase after him (later i will regret this). I chase him for about a block until finally he gives up, luckliy im in pretty good shape lol. so he starts freaking and was like i didnt steal anything i didnt steal anything. But i was like give me all the **** u have in ur back pack or i will beat the **** out of you, by this time i had about 3 of my football buddies with me that were in the car. we called the cops etc. But about a week later the same cop came to our door and told me that i was very lucky becasue the lastn time this kid got caught he had a gun with him... Gun or not STAY THE **** AWAY FROM MY BABY!!!!!

I got ran off the road by an old lady in a lincoln, got a new set of wheels out of the deal, no body damage but it did ruin 3 wheel bearings and throw off my alignment. It seems like alot of wrecks have been happening around my car lately. Just last night my honda got hit while parked in the street
