Well, unfortunatly on my way home from work today, i had a little accident with the Tib. It was icy out, and i skidded right into the back of a Jeep Liberty. She can be saved, which is the good thing. Basically the hood, bumper, left headlight & corner light, and possibly the radiator, need to be replaced. No air bags deployed fing02.gif . Anyway thought i'd let all of you know, as this has been a real downer. Later. sad.gif

oof... could have been worse, it's just somebody damage. my car has been through it twice. first time with first owner and second time when my car was driven when i was on vacation. apparently hit a trashcan (faithofadragon) and the body panels and engine cylinder went out. your tib will be up and running back in no time. just hope at least insurance helps out and the people you hit were generous about it.

PLEASE be careful driving this winter!!!!!!! keep distance, spend the exta $90 on seasonal tires, and watch for road hazards.

That sucks... but the good news is that it's probably going to cost about the same (or maybe even less) as OEM parts to upgrade everything to sweet aftermarket items fing02.gif
