Default Sad news :(

Well about 2 weeks ago driving to work I had a lady in front of me cut me off and stop short, and I wasn't able to stop in time. The hood, both fenders, bumper and bumper support were all smashed and insurance totaled it. But the good news is that I got a lot more than I paid for my vert so with that I went and bought an 04 GTO. So you guys keep the verts going, Ill miss mine.

Sorry to hear but why not replace with another 'vert, unless you are tired of them.

Glad you came out on top with this.
