Default The "before-math" of Rita

Rita... That **** *** bitch.... I finally made it to Austin, but this happened amidst the hell trying to get out of Houston. No one was injured but man, a hole has been left in my heart... I guess the question now is, can any of you folks help out body work? Stay safe everyone

that sux, Will... at least you and Kara got here safe... you can always fix a car or buy another one but you and Kara are irreplaceable as friends.

if you're staying with Griswold, Naomi and I are just down the road... if you need anything, just let us know

Could have been alot worse. Looks like it just needs a new front bumper and driver side fender.. and of course a new headlight assembly. Hood look mostly undamaged, just the scrape by the nostrils. Doesn't look like it shifted over any either.

I don't think anyone's at fault there was a cop on scene and he didn't issue any tickets. The other guy, an older gentleman, was actually very understanding and it wasn't big deal, I guess I should call and see what he's going to do about it

Damn that sucks, are you going to go back with a stock headlight setup, or are you going to do the HID setup you made again?

I don't think many people realised you have that done...

Good luck to ya man!

Sorry to see that. I don't know what you meant by help with body work, I know I can't help you fix it myself. But if you need a body shop, and you are paying out of your pocket, call X-Air 832-202-9536, and if insurance is covering you, well he will take care of you even better. Tell him Sai sent you, and you will be amazed at the deal that he gives you.

Damn Will that blows. I was out earlier yesterday and the traffic through 249/2920 is just rediculous. People blowing lights left and right just to get ahead of traffic a few feet. Sorry about your loss bro and hopefully it gets fixed soon...maybe it'll turn out better than before
