Default my new 2000 WS6












and then.....

i bought a big gulp for a co worker at a local 7-11, it spilled and burst open on my floor as i was turning into the service drive at my work, i stood on the brakes and went to lean for it, the clutch came out and my foot slipped the brake which resulted in the car lurching forward into a pole at around 5mph, i hit the pole in a way that my fender and bumper got fucked up i had the car a week before it happened.....

Sorry about the damage. No food or drink EVER in the car. Car does look clean though. Hopefully it will all turn out good.

2000 seems steep to me, but if it's top notch work then I guess it is worth it.

I did a very similar thing to my car right after I got it. granted it didnt cost me $2000, in fact it didnt cost anyhting cuz I never got it fixed, but it still sucked some *******. I thought I would be cool, and fish tail around a corner, but gave it a little too much and hit a small road-side reflector. Put a little dent/scratch in my front end. Its just not enough for my to wanna pay a lot of money to have it fixed so its staying for a while. Gives it character

Car looks great! I would get the CETA mod or some charcoal metallic black bird stripes (or both) painted on while it is in the shop so you at least feel the car comes out better than before the pole, $2000 later...

**** on $2k in repairs...that's freggin rediculous...

This happened to me:



It sucked donkey *****. I bought brand new GM parts to assure fitment and fixed it myself for...$1500, or around that, then paint on top of that. Yours looks like...bumper, fender and maybe headlight cover if you can't get the dimple out or you want to be like me and be **** about everything.

either way, good looking car and goodluck getting it fixed up!
