sigh....i barely got my baby back from the shop a few days back. And my stupid, careless, self has to go do something stupid...i dont deserve to own a 914. i went from the best feeling in the world to a total 180. what a roller coaster. i'm sorry to the entire 914 community for doing something this stupid. (IMG:http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/traurig/sad-smiley-042.gif) i love this car so much and this is how i treat her. there are so many emotions running through me right now. SIGH. i apologize again to this great community for doing this. i'm just beating up myself right for doing this. (IMG:http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/traurig/sad-smiley-036.gif)

Crap Daniel (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I'm sorry that happened to your baby.
I've taken out a pole before too. It does suck. As long as you got out unscathed that's all that matters. |

it hit something, another vehicle's tire created that center crunch-in. The other vehicle is fine (GMC SUV). the only damage to the GMC is a dented door.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Is it to bad to put another clip on? Doesn't look like anything behind the front suspension is damaged.

I'm pretty sure the front suspension is farked. Look at how the front fenders are concaved in and twisted inwards. Bottom is also like that from what I can tell. Although, you would have to take it to an alignment shop to know if it is "within spec", or a shop with a frame rack to measure. |

yea an entire front clip would work, but i got a quote from a place that does good work for a price and they're asking $2500 even when i source them the parts. At this moment i dont have $2500, and the only way to go would be to part her out. Sooner or later i was gonna sell her w/ all these upgrades i had planned for her. Now those plans are never gonna happen again. I will forever remember this little car and the memories of happiness it brought to me. |

Deny this to your insurance company. I say you were run off the road by somebody under the influence. Would that help??? |
