Not fun, I hope that there is an intercooler upgrade in my future!
Nope. It was supposed to be ready on the 24th (with multiple assurances from everyone involved that it WOULD be ready). I called on the 23rd asking what time it would be ready, and they told me it wasn't going to be ready "for a while still." Nobody could tell me why it was taking longer, or even ballpark when it was done. I'll be calling tomorrow and confirming when I get it back. I miss my baby

I don't believe I've EVER had a body shop finish a project on schedule; It's just the nature of the beast I suppose. If you get the car back by the 31st you'll be luckier than most.
I'm more annoyed that I wasn't informed and nobody had ANY idea where my car was in the repair process. Makes me a bit nervous. :\
too much egg nog?

That is inexcusable. My shop always keeps me in the loop.

Yea I would call make sure somebody tells you where they are on the car everyday since they are running past the time it was promised.
I like the TCS. Unless I'm going to do some launches from a dig, or an AutoX run, I leave it on. Even in the snow. With snow tires, I think it does a decent job. Unless I get it stuck from a stop, then it needs to be turned off for a min. I went out at like 2AM the last time we got 4-5in of snow and challenged the biggest hill in my neighborhood. It passed with flying colors.

That's good to know. Even if my car has boatloads less power, it's still good to know we've got a good system strapped onto it.

Was probably going 15-20 when I hit the pole, and it cause about $3,200 worth of damage. Boy am I glad I got decent insurance on this
Like I said earlier, I'm pretty terrified that the car will never drive the same again. Everyone I talk to about it keeps telling me it won't, but I'd like to hold on to at least SOME shred of hope :x
Don't feel too bad -- I was "attacked" by a guardrail
I messed up my suspension pretty bad - the tie rod or something like that. My steering wheel was completly turned the worng way but the car was going straight. Weird. But after $2K ... all is well. You'll feel much better when it gets fixed ... promise.18psiWhiteMS3

After talking to a few ACTUAL mechanics and people who have first hand experience with this sort of accident, my hopes are a bit higher.Now I just need to get the damn shop to UPDATE me -.-
