Damn dude, glad to hear everything is being fixed. I got my 1997 Trans Am when I was 19 in Feburary of 2006. Just passed the 1 year Anniversary. Got no damage, but came close in the snow. Just be careful, stay off the happy pedal unless you know you and your car will be ok.

I never let anyone drive my car.

Good to hear its going to be allright

yeah it blows *** but at least hes not being douche bag and not paying for it...i guess it just gives me another reason to get a paint job.

the gnx was his daily driver but belonged to his dad and he decided to sell it for some reason.

If it were me, I wouldn't repaint the car a different color. Whatever it is keep it that color. It takes a lot of time and a lot more $$$ to do a full repaint done right. Otherwise you'll have mismatched paint under the hood, bottom of car, and other places.

Sucks about your car though but good thing he's paying for the damage. Is he paying out of pocket or is he filing it?

I know man. Life sucks then you die.

I spun out and did about $480 worth of damage, but that's not counting the scuff marks that I still haven't fixed.

I know this isn't really important to anything, but SLP never made a 99 ws.6.....ASC did.

Man I feel for you I try not to let anyone drive my car. I let a guy at my dealer drive the car with me in it and he knocked off one of my mufflers. I was so pissed but its because the damn car is so low. I am glad I went because I would have beat him up if I had not of witnessed what happened.

I have let people drive my camaro, they also drive alot faster cars than mine. Well, except for my dad, I'm expecting him to wreck the car everytime he drives it, but he also paid for the car. So, i suppose he could wreck his own car. I just dont let people have fun at my car's expense. Just make sure they fix the hatch right, it should close with little force. My car had a quarter panel replaced by the dealer and Ive spent way too much money getting everything to fit right again.
