I feel your pain guys - it sucks people disregard your property. I stood to lose $12,000 if she would have totaled my car ($18k for the total; $30k for a G8 GT). Lucky no significant frame damage was done.

All because someone can't drive.

I hear ya.

I talked to the guy on Wednseday of last week and he thought I was calling him to rush the car. I basically told him to call me when it was done. I'm not worried.....the car is kept inside anyways.

Haha. I just recently got my badges off, and I was sitting on the ground infront of the car, I discovered my front molding is cracking! I don't know if someone nailed my car, or if it's just from me driving 300+ miles a week.

damn curbs. thats why you try to stop before you would hit it if you dont know the height. i hate people that like go until they hit their tires.

thatll be not so bad if its just the bottom piece. hell get the razzi front its probably cheaper lol.
