    lil Fender Bender

    Well....I was driving the GT to the gym about 1.5 hours ago and a goof without his lights off decided to stop his truck in the middle of the road. I thought he was setting me up but he didn’t take my info..... His Truck wasn’t hurt one bit but the GT suffered. Broke the plastic bumper support in front of the rad, pushed the front upper brace toward the motor 2" and now the hood sticks up 2" because of the latch. The AC still works and the car is fully functional if the hood would close! So......I am going to band-aid the thing together and go ghetto with some hood pins. Damn - I am trashy!

    So after the winter, I may part the thing out.

    That sucks, at least you are OK. I thought a guy was setting me up the other day too. He passed me on a double yellow line and then locked up the breaks in front of me. If I hadn't been on the phone with my company it would have gotten ugly real quick. Before I could even get out of the car he took off like a bat out of hell. I left some nice skid marks and luckily a last minute decision to head for the ditch kept me from rear ending him. I'll be keeping an eye out for this prick though, rest assured!

    If you ever decide to part the car out, please let me know first. :)

    sounds like it's time for a new hood, cobra front bumper, and a fresh coat of opal frost!

    I was able to close the hood and hey....it even opens! Just a little pulling and bending! Either way, I will be running this this winter and will possibly be parting it out in the spring. So....most of you know the mods, if you want somthing, let me know.
