And make sure that person never gets behind the wheel of any vehicle again. I hate stupid people and I'm tired of stupid people getting 2nd chances.

RE: The Official Un-Pimping Of Mobsta's Ride - 5/8/2008 6:55:35 PM    addiction2bass Posts: 6865 Joined: 6/21/2006 Status: offline well IMO find out how much the insurance company will pay out for the car and how much it costs to buy it back from them... if your cars got al power options then you can always buy a cheap dx and swap all your power options onto it... make it into a nice EX ;) IMO with suspension damage you dont know what kinda damage is there until you replce the parts and get to a alignment shop..... i wouldnt risk it IMO. just buy your civic back and keep all the nice parts, motor, tranny nitros stuff and then think about it... YA GOT A BACKUP MOTOR and such ;) incase ya give it alittle to much nos.LOL _____________________________ 99 civic ex, being redone.

Sux man, very untimely for this to happen. But hopefully you get good money back for it and can upgrade, make some good out of it you know. I hate people that drive on my ass. I'm a pretty spirited driver, but I atleast have the curtousy to leave some space between me and the car in front. I think it's either A.) guy that wants to piss you off ( been noticing a lot of truck drivers doing that to me lately, i'm thinking because of jealousy about gas consumption) or B.) dumb chick driving that isn't thinking cause she's on the celly or just plain stupid. Addiction has some good advice, it's hard to let go of things, but better to turn the page quickly from this and move on to a next project IMO. Start fresh with a different playing field. _____________________________ (in reply to croninc) Post #: 39

I was talking to you about Nitrous, then the next day you told me what happened the next day and it was kinda unbelievable at first, thats just insane.. And sad that had to happen to your baby :(. You had a good thing going with your car, and its a shame to see what happened to it . _____________________________ (in reply to Live_4it) Post #: 40
