Well, I did something dumb, and let someone else drive my car. I kinda hope its totaled to be honest, cause I think that the frame might be bent. I havent even had the car a week 
. I JUST got the Veilside front bumper put on last night too (fake fiberglass one). Guess guy was taking a turn and "hot-rodding" and lost control, overcorrected and went up and over about a 8-10inch curb. The bumper is DEMOLISHED. The oil cooler on the drivers side is dangling down. The whole air damn/deflector on the bottom is gone. Drivers side headlight assembly is messed up. Needs a new front fender (or at least bent back out). Both passenger side wheels are curbed with knicks taken out of em. Under the passanger side of the car, underneath the back of the door, looks like it is curved up. Dont know if the drive train is messed up, but when in gear the shifter can be moved around QUITE a bit. Car pulls pretty hard to the right.
So it looks like the single turbo upgrade is off for a bit, and I have to talk to his insurance company tomorrow. Dont think I will be sleeping much tonight. Now I just need to find me a new one if it comes to that.
Later, and drive safe (and dont let others drive ur car)

Hardly ever, hell no drives my ****. And it is very, very rare that I even let someone sit on my bike, but NO ONE has ever sat on it running.
Still, you would like to think that a person would borrow your car and be careful with it. Let us know how it goes with insurance!

Damn, that's rough. That's why I hardly ever let anyone drive my car without me in it.
Yeah I know what you mean. Never know when a looney has this desire to chase down an eclipse...
OW that sucks.
