Love the car. Now for the bad part. In the early morning hours on Friday it was hit hard from behind, by an unidentified vehicle, and pushed under a Honda Pilot. I put a couple photos in my gallery. I suspect the car will belong to State Farm by mid-week. I expect that they will total it and I'll have to fight them for adequate payment. If that happens, they will allow me to buy it back, but I doubt that I will opt for that. It is currently sitting where it was hit on a street in Columbus, OH, in case anyone is interested in looking at it and considering acquiring it from me. I've enjoyed the site, even though I'm very much in favor of keeping my cars stock. I'm just too old, I guess.

Sorry man, IMHO it is a goner.

Those seats are good for a quick $500.00 Quote: Originally Posted by pgh95ti I'm fairly new here, having joined when I bought my car in June. Love the car. Now for the bad part.
