drfunk · 2004-02-22, 07:21 PM

i dont know what is up with subies hitting curbs, but one attacked my car today and put it out of commision. i was getting it washed, and the load off car washer was pulling it out of the tunnel and decided he wanted to get on it..well i guess he couldnt handle it and smashed straight into a curb smashing my rs rim breaking my front suspension and shoving the wheel into the quarter panel. i had it towed today and the car wash is fully responsable.

The car wash can order goldies from that place you post for Mike to find STi rims at. I think they're about $215/each.

ArthurS · 2004-02-22, 10:37 PM

I would have to say.....yes.

drfunk · 2004-02-27, 05:23 PM

ok its 2274.20. for damage and labor. then you add the ren-a-car and the towing. = berry hinckley screwed. i dont expect to have my car back for a month. they have to have their insurance guy check my vehicle next week than order parts which will take a week than install them which will take a week. so i better get used to this piece im driving. they should have gotten me a frickin' cadillac.

If it's only $2300, then the frame's either not bent, or not being fixed.

drfunk · 2004-02-27, 06:47 PM

maybe i misunderstood about the frame damage, or it was the subframe. but anyway, its getting fixed. just gonna take a while.

STIwish · 2004-02-27, 10:35 PM

If its anything like mine (and it seems that it is), they have to pull the subframe, realign it and bolt it back up and make sure everything is straight... at least thats what they were going to do with mine.
