at least it didn't screw much up. poor ol' t-bird. Was it a hella nice one? well not anymore anyway.

imprezton · 2002-12-30, 10:01 PM

It was a HAN-quality car.....I think a '66.

And it will be just fine, once he replaces the corner again :shock:

BOO · 2002-12-31, 04:56 AM

Atleast you weren't Hurt... I am sorry to hear of this but atleast your OBS is drivable and no "Down-Time" involved (As I am typing this I can hear the rain/snow on the my roof coming down hard)since the storm is here ..
Well, Happy New Year to you and your family

Ps: Yes, including your doggie

Yup.

We both chew tobacco, too

BOO · 2002-12-31, 08:30 AM

:shock: Ok Maybe I was raised in solitary confinement because I have never heard of a female chewing :? .. LOL

ArthurS · 2002-12-31, 08:33 AM

This snow is awsome! I have to go out later and get some pics. Iwas almost crushed by a bronco this morning that was sliding everywhere. Damn suv's.

BOO · 2002-12-31, 08:42 AM

Yeah and I have been scraping snow(for our 3 cars) since 6:30 am .. LOL

ArthurS · 2002-12-31, 08:44 AM

lol.......just use the 4runner. that should be able to get around allright.

But now, you should go trade in the VW for a Subaru.

BOO · 2002-12-31, 08:47 AM

lol... Good Morning by the way Arthur

.. My wife would freak if i traded the VW .. i think i might do the SUV.. SINCE your last encounter with one ..

ArthurS · 2002-12-31, 08:58 AM

Well, good morning to you also. I have to work till about 2pm, then run out and go to my second job and finish installing this guys home theater. He has a 7k plasma tv and a 4k remote with over 50,000 in his entire theater. These guys sure no how to spend money!

anyway, like I mentioned, our family just bought a 4runner, and it seems the subaru handles much better like 90% of the time, until you put the 4runner in 4wheel low. But when you do that you can't go like aboue 35 or so. (not sure)

BOO · 2002-12-31, 09:01 AM

WOW !! and I thought the NEW 52" FLAT Screen TV that we just purchased was nice enough .. lol Well have a good day at work and happy/safe Driving

Ps: Happy New year's eve

Man that sucks about the bumper... sucks even more an old skool T-Bird had to take damage...

People with nice cars need to be more careful! Especially a '66 *anything*... think about how useless the tires and brakes on that car are in snow/ice/wet compared to a modern vehicle!

I think you've got the right idea about waiting for the spring before getting it fixed. I've got a list of about 5 dents I want removed, and a new windshield come spring. I figure, what's the point of fixing it all, then getting nailed by hail or something. When the sun comes out for spring so do the dent doctors...

imprezton · 2002-12-31, 02:33 PM

It was on dry road. The guy was just trying to muscle in on the car behind me and didn't expect me to brake for a hazard.

Edit: By the way, I'm not angry about this at all. People make mistakes. It incenses me when i-club kids

someone who made a mistake and bent their precious car. In most cases, the offending driver was a far better driver who just made a mistake. Or perhaps, there's more to the stories than the kids are telling :wink:
