Alot of strange **** has been happening with mine. I feel like it's been a money pit. Not really friendly for a college student. Insurance came out today to look at it, my friend at body shop said might be totaled. He said most likely need new fender, 2 new doors, two rims the got chewed bad in the process as well as my tires, headlight, front bumper repair, the rear quarter is bowed out really bad, and my front suspension was trashed, with my wheel pushed 5-6inches in and paint.

What a coincidence lol....I'm not sure if I have the ability to buy it back from what he told me. It's up to the the ppl who financed me if they will release it to buy back or if they send it straight to the salvage auction. Maybe I can find someone locally to swap intakes and exhaust manifolds for my ls1 intake and dt headers for a decent price. My adjuster told me to have receipts ready for all my mods hopefully they pay accordingly.

thanks I'll be getting with you soon, I'm not sure what all I'll be able to take since the adjuster took pictures of everything on the car. I'll be able to know what I can do Monday for sure.
