They are very rare. I think there was one other guy who posted like 2X on here that was from Wilmington. What color you got? Ive seen very few 8's around town. There was the other guy with a BB, a nordic green was around a while back and Ive seen a Red with a kit on it.

anybody know of a good place to get body work done in the charlotte area? I got some damage to my BB left front wheel well and a ton of dings in my doors from jerk people at my old apartment complex. I wonder if I can make an insurance claim or something. Also, do you guys have a hard time backin your x out? I'm notorious for backin into things.

How much do you think it would be to get something like that fixed? I just need a ballpark figure. Oh and about Montgomery Mazda, thats where I got my car, and everytime I take it back there with some weird noise like a whine when hittin the gas in low rpms, or this grinding when I make turns after driving for awhile - they say its either nothing or its a quirk of rotary, or they didnt hear it. Are they usually like this?

Without some pictures I couldnt give you a good estimate on how much they would charge.

Its white Bobby... He has every hat you could imagine with ears on it.. He will hate me when he is older but until then I get to torture him

Again guys, dont forget to check out ncrotaries, I believe we are having a meet on May 23rd!!

Lacheex, your insurance should cover it however, they may try to charge you a separate deductable for each ding since they happened at separate times. If they are all on one door and the shop says they have to fix the whole door for 1 ding then you may be able to get away wih 1 deductable... Depends on your adjuster really...
