Look what my M3 got for xmas!
so xmas eve.. i get to my aunts house.. im there maybe 3 minutes.. the neighbor comes over to tell us his mother in law backed into my car.. which was parked across the street.. now i have no clue why she had to back up so far to leave his house.. but whats done is done..
then today, leaving my fiance's dads house in cypress.. we decide to go around the 91 and take the 605 to the 60.. well the 605 suddenly stops for no reason, and BAM..
buckled quarter panel.
Merry Xmas!

Ouch 
Not nearly as bad as your M3, but I went to a uni lecture the other day, and in the hour I was there someone reversed into me cracking my front bumper, and drove off

Now you know why my S4 has 14,000 miles or an average or 3200 miles a year since new, and own a S2000 as a beaterbox.
I can only take the S4 to places where it has the chances of not being trashed.
Sorry for your pain *yank*

Re: Look what my M3 got for xmas!
wtf? do you even do your own body work?
it's not even remotely close to being unfixable, it's not gonna be cheap consider it's a german but it's very very very fixable
long time no see MTK, she should be fine after some time at the shop

Re: Look what my M3 got for xmas!
you got an 08 m3? u can afford new LM's... lucky bastard.. 
yeah i dont do much forum surfing anymore except on the detailing forums.. im taking it to the body shop beginning of next week to get the good or bad news.. i had an adjuster look at it and he said it could go either way because the trunk floor is wrinkled and the frame in the trunk is pinched.. so we'll see.. the pisser is that i bought the car for $37K in 05, and now its barely worth $21K.. so i wont get much if its a total loss..
maybe.. if they're gonna give me enough cash to replace the trunk lid, i will definitely do that
yeah i think it woulda been fine if it wasnt raining man.. heres the shitty part.. the insurance company called me today and said "there might have been a lapse in coverage.. meaning they might not have been insured on the date of the accident.." .. so basically i gotta pay my deductable.. worst case scenario, i will just be without a car for a year or so.. because with all the credit card debt ive racked up, im gonna take the money they give me if its totaled and pay off the rest of the car, and my credit cards and just save for a year or so.. save money, and get off my *** and do some detailing and i should be able to get something nice afterall..

Re: Look what my M3 got for xmas!
I contemplated going this route. The RL is sexy as hell and its super rare you will find one modded on the road. Too bad it's lacking a V8.
I read that it still performs ok though despite missing two cylinders.
The LS is too "senior" VIP for me and the RL has some sport in it .. IMO

Re: Look what my M3 got for xmas!
not really feelin the lexus cars.. maybe the IS-F but in that price range you wouldnt be able to keep me from signing papers for an m3.. after my accident i was driving through the el monte area and saw a white IS-F lowered on rims.. looked so sick
