[QUOTE=Protocol7;36251360]well that would (hopefully) explain the overheating[/QUOTE] that would do quite the opposite actually.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36251221]that's at least $3-4000 bucks overpriced[/QUOTE] we're going by kbb, they said its worth 6800. so we're offering 7000 because it looks really nice. It's a girl selling it, and she doesn't realize that if she didn't put the money she did into it, then it would be worth about 3,000 less. Hopefully she realizes that and changes her mind. It's a sweet looking car. [url]http://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/3004049097.html[/url]

NADA has clean retail for around $5700ish, but that's retail and not private party sale so

[QUOTE=Psygo;36251742]that would do quite the opposite actually.[/QUOTE] you know I did a little reading on what thermostats actually do and sometimes if you don't have one it can cause overheating because the coolant doesn't stay in the radiator long enough to actually cool down there's a reason I wrote (hopefully)
ah, I'm still looking at other options. Nissan maxima's altima 3.5 se acura TL s any other options for good reliable car with a little bit a speed to them? I need a car for college that will easily do a 1000 mile trip nbd
not exactly related to cars but kinda got a new monitor for my birthday, went from 17" to 23", was almost hoping that when walking out of the store my mom would've said "okay now go put the monitor in your new SUPER BEETLE and let's go get some food" :(
I see a WRX wagon every now and then that's like a graphite-ish black with orange rims. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] and a roof rack.
I'll never understand how Cadillac went from making kick-ass land yachts that you could almost live in to making fucking sports cars that have little luxuries compared to other cars.
guess who just got into an accident. I was forced out of my lane and swerved to miss the guy and scraped up against a truck. Trucks fine, my fender and door are fucked. Sigh.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36253896]guess who just got into an accident. I was forced out of my lane and swerved to miss the guy and scraped up against a truck. Trucks fine, my fender and door are fucked. Sigh.[/QUOTE] Fuck. :( Well, we're glad you're okay, shit sucks, but i guess it coulda been worse.. Any hope of repairs?
I'll get quotes probably Monday. I drove it home fine so HOPEFULLY it's all exterior damage. But the guy I hit and I both agreed I was forced over. Got nailed with careless driving, but it was do nothing and get hit which is not my instinct, or swerve and hit or brake and get rear ended so I was fucked. Just wish I got the plates for the Accord that cut me off, but it was on the highway so he was gone before I even knew. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] But yeah definitely just the driver side fender and door. Door is trashed, fender is probably reparable. I'll get pics of the damage in a sec.
Damn bro I know your feel; the same with my Mazda 3. Shouldn't cost too much to replace. Most you might have to do is buy a door, fender and some paint
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36253896]guess who just got into an accident. I was forced out of my lane and swerved to miss the guy and scraped up against a truck. Trucks fine, my fender and door are fucked. Sigh.[/QUOTE] But you only just got the thing! :(
I want to replace my trunk and rear bumper, because they've been moderately rear ended. I can't afford it though, just for a used trunk that's the wrong color cost 300 dollars. I haven't looked into the bumper, i could just pop the dent out of it and would be satisfied for a while. I've popped the dent out of the bumper before, but then the trunk wouldn't shut. I ended up pushing the dent back in.
[QUOTE=tommyc225;36254594]But you only just got the thing! :([/QUOTE] yeah I know, and I've had my license for just over 2 years so it's not like I'm completely inexperienced either :/ Here's how it looks: [IMG]http://puu.sh/zGP5[/IMG] Door won't shut fully since the metal is bent, so I turned off the automatic light and stuff (lock still catches on the little thing so.) But yeah, what am I looking at? $2,000 in repairs? Fuck yeah. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] Oh and here's the "damage" I did to the truck [IMG]http://puu.sh/zGQc[/IMG] Nothing major if at all.
All you guys getting in wrecks, with my incredibly terrible fortune right now, i'm really paranoid. I've already lost my girl by force, i don't want to lose my truck too.
What damage? I don't see any.
[QUOTE=Del91;36254987]What damage? I don't see any.[/QUOTE] yeah there's no damage on the truck, I lucked out
A shame for your car, damn stupid drivers making people ruin their mechanical love and running away like nothing happened.
[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;36255045]A shame for your car, damn stupid drivers making people ruin their mechanical love and running away like nothing happened.[/QUOTE] well good thing the mechanical stuff (from what I can tell) is fine it's really just body damage and a new door, maybe frame though and I'll need to get a tire alignment probably
God, you guys are making me more frightened, I haven't wrecked my volvo, but came close. Since I am throwing 2.5 grand into this engine, im REALLY afraid of wrecking the thing.
[QUOTE=Siminov;36255178]God, you guys are making me more frightened, I haven't wrecked my volvo, but came close. Since I am throwing 2.5 grand into this engine, im REALLY afraid of wrecking the thing.[/QUOTE] well I made the mistake of not looking before I swerved so Either way it could have been avoided if the idiot didn't force me out of my lane but still, if you have your wits about you, you won't wreck
You better have gotten pictures of him or something, anything that shows he was physically okay. You don't want him turning around and claiming "health trauma". Not saying he will, but it's a risk.
[QUOTE=Siminov;36255178]God, you guys are making me more frightened, I haven't wrecked my volvo, but came close. Since I am throwing 2.5 grand into this engine, im REALLY afraid of wrecking the thing.[/QUOTE] Calm down, be careful and you will be alright. I'm putting 2 grands into my engine too, but I'm more afraid about losing my papers. With one point I'm not going far. And if I lose them I can't even go to work.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;36255271]You better have gotten pictures of him or something, anything that shows he was physically okay. You don't want him turning around and claiming "health trauma". Not saying he will, but it's a risk.[/QUOTE] Ouch my neck. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] Ooo my lower back.
That's why I love the fact that here in Québec body injuries are all covered by our papers.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;36255271]You better have gotten pictures of him or something, anything that shows he was physically okay. You don't want him turning around and claiming "health trauma". Not saying he will, but it's a risk.[/QUOTE] I didn't get pictures of him but we traded info, took pictures of each others car, so on and so forth. He was actually really nice and talked to me about the car and just other general small talk. So i'm hoping he won't But I didn't get pictures of him though and I'm sure the accident report says both parties were not injured
Wish I still had the pictures to what I did to that 90's Nissian SUV with my accord. Well technically they hit me but my car ripped there car a new shit and I only left with bumper dent and broken headlight. The grand prix got side swipped while it was parked and left a nice pack of deep body scratches on the passanger side and broke our door mirror on it. Two months ago or so the camry got backed into and they broke the headlight and drove off. I was fucking pissed when I saw the headlight hanging from the car after coming out from the store.
Is Facepunch being really really slow for anyone else?
