Cars can be fixed, as long as everyone is OK is what matters. What happened?

She feels stupid. Her foot slipped off the brake pedal while parking, so she bumped into another car that was parked. Caused about $500 in damage on the van.

They even said, "Good thing you weren't driving Dad's Z."

Keep us posted where you end up going and the cost. Clear is coming off my hood and could use a repaint. Thanks!

I guess those wheels are nice. I can't even remember the previous version.

As for last night and some today wheel wise=I am noticing in some ways it is putting the power down far better, yet others it seems to break loose and slip more.

I am unsure if I should attribute this to the silicon based BS (****ing tired dressing)they put on wheels or other rotational inertia factors w extra 1.25" away from center hub plus 23mm in offset from oem?

I did scrub the hell out of the wheels today to get that awful BS off the car, but now its raining so it will be tough to tell.

I think it's funny he's asking almost full retail prices for his parts. I'd be tempted for those test pipes, though.

Sold the WRX last night, now I get to lavish my funds on the Z.
Speaking of the Z, it should be finishing it's clutch job this afternoon, and all ready to head out to Lincoln, NE in the morning.
