(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I loaned the Red Car to sww914 while he's waiting for parts for his boat, and he & and older "gentleman" tried to mate fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Steve is taking care of everything, but he's having a hard time finding an early chrome bumper (the one on the car is one of the ones done by bdstone not too long ago), so if anyone has one, please let me know. Otherwise we'll send mine out to be straightened & re-chromed.

I'm doing my best not to get upset over it, accidents happen, and there's not too much we can do about them. The up-side, is that some of the rust is going to be dealt with (Steve is going above & beyond on that, which is most appreciated), and since they're going to have to do some painting anyway, if I can afford it, I'll get the other rust bubbles dealt with at the same time.

Steve said he's going to take some pics, so maybe he'll post them here.

Is there something in the water? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) There seems to be some kind of attack on 914's lately. Watch out for the other guy fellas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

That always sucks to hear, but there is a lesson here...

Quick, everybody put your cars up on jackstands (if not already) to protect them.

oh shit. I feel your pain. I have another front bumper that has great chrome but it is a little bent (not the one one my cadaver- its not bent much but chrome is bad under one of the bumperettes). Karma clearly dictates that it is yours for shipping if you want it.

I appreciate the offer, and will make sure Steve sees it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sorry, Mark.
I'm glad that I'm in a position to make it right for you.
I'll post pictures tomorrow, it's not as bad as Jeep vs 914.

Too many drivers distracted with cell phones and texting and Navi's telling them to turn left now. Too many people stressed out over the holidays. These small cars are just under the radar. Should almost have a flag stuck on the bumper like a recumbent bike...

Could someone start a poll of known 914's that got totalled, burned or were scrapped this month? My gosh, must be at least 10 that we know of this month alone. I know this one can be fixed but what the heck is going on?

Driving for 30 years, racing for 12, first crash. Sucks.

Looks like that fender might need a little body work too?

Is it bent/crooked?

How is the headlight bezel? Bent?
