YIKES. Well, happy reunion, in advance! :)

holy crap i don't believe it.. another accident!.. i'm glad you're alright.. that's some tough relationship you have with your 8!

Thanks. Yeah, almost two years with barely a scratch, and now these. lol Oh well, gotta roll with it. Maybe with the lawsuit settlement I'll get your wheels, finally, Gundar! :)

lol well hopefully not the same ones but something equally as nice hehe

omg

Update: Supposed to be going in for paint on Monday. Hoping they can find a replacement Tenzo! :( (If they can't, I wonder if I could get them to get me a whole set of wheels like Gundarx's. lol) I'm really hoping to have it back for the car cruise at Shady Brook Farms.

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. As dedicated as volunteers are around here they are NOT allowed to exceed the posted speed limit (I am sure the max on any residential is 30mph)Not allowed to ignore traffic signals or any other means of traffic control. Plus a volunteers vehicle is NOT considered a safty vehicle (by law)no matter how well equipped it may be. It is obvious by the dammged inflicted this well meaning a-hole is seriously in the wrong and maybe shouldn't be driving period. In his hopes of "getting a good call" he caused one and needlessly put lives in danger. I hope it's HIS insurance that is paying for the damages you do not deserve the hit on your record. And if red is a bad color than why are fire trucks that color (maybe he's color blind)? Glad your OK but you must be suffering from emotional duress, a fear of silver trucks with lunitics behind the wheel perhaps?

Thanks a bunch, Sour :) Yeah, I was never a fan of lunatics, but now the ones in silver trucks that are behind me Definitely make me nervous! lol The auto insurance is still investigating but it looks 99.9 percent sure that the other guy will have to pay for everything. I know he got a ticket for careless driving, too, so this is going to be really expensive for him.

PS Still laughing at "Lawn Guyland" :)

are you sure your car wasn't silver at some point?

LOL Nuke :)

I stopped in today and -- AAARRRGGGHHH -- the car is done except they can't find a replacement wheel (Tenzo) and so I'm without my car for the holiday weekend :( Sooooooo close! Grrr!

At least it will be safe from the drunk traffic gonna be out for labor day weekend. Gotta get some pics of it up when you get it back, and hope you can get the wheels you want, or replacement.

LoL

It had to Silver at one point. The Curse is back in full effect

Yeah, it's crossed my mind that a curse got put on it, but it had nothing to do with silver. lol

I even put a post out asking for ideas for good luck charms, but no one had any ideas! :( I guess I'll just start with the ole rabbit foot idea and put ten or twelve rabbits' worth of feet in the glovebox! :)

just have it painted winning blue. :)

Oh noes! No curse on Velocity Red, please! :scared:

Glad they got it all fixed up! If you were closer, I'd lend you one of my sets of wheels. Somebody lend this woman a set of wheels! Won't somebody think of the rotors!?! :D:

Sorry to hear that Beth.

I would recomend selling the car via trade in for a new 09.

Awww, Wank, my new bff! :bowdown: lol

Oh, and PS to Nuke and Razz: Winning Blue is def a cool color, that's what I originally went to the dealer. But I love my VR :) And Razz, I have a really stupid reason for not wanting an '09... I don't like the little changes they made, like where would I put my awesome paint-matched strakes on an '09???? :(

Update: Five weeks later, car is still sitting at the body shop. It's completely fixed and gorgeous again, better than ever (door dings and stuff removed too!) The problem: NO replacement wheel for my Tenzo that was wrecked in the collision. They've looked for two weeks, and it seems it simply doesn't exist. So I have a three-wheeled car :(

Anybody got any ideas? I can't imagine the insurance company will agree to replace all four just because they can't find the one. Plus I'm going to end up with three wheels, and what the heck will I do with them??? This stinks so bad :(

um.. yes his insurance will. if he damaged something that cannot be replaced and the only way to get the car moving again is to replace all four wheels.. guess what, he's replacing all four wheels

And if they refuse you should make them pay for four new wheels and a lawyer... Don't take any crap from insurance companies. They are weasels just a tiny step above lawyers in the hierarchy of bottom-feeders.

Yeah, they suck, been a pain through this whole thing. What a way to spend the summer! Bleagh :(

I'm meeting with a new lawyer today, someone I'm hoping is a little more aggressive.

I met with the new lawyer yesterday, and he said that, too... YAY! :smoker: I'm sure it'll be a slow, difficult process, but that's what I'm aiming for now.

glad to hear your new lawyer knows the law :)

can't wait to see the phoenix rise again

I never had a name for my car, but I think now she's officially Phoenix :)
