Default Fun while it lasted

I'm fairly new here, having joined when I bought my car in June. 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.

John

Boy that is a shame. The front doesn’t look all that bad but the rear got it good.

Sorry man

I am willing to bet it was a drunk. Sorry man, IMHO it is a goner. Hopefully they will not fight you too much on how much she is worth

Take the front seats out, and say they were stolen. Those seats are good for a quick $500.00

It's a shame another ti bites the dust. Too much damage on the rear.
