:( Not even one week of owning the car!

Went out to work this morning and some ******* tried to run me off the road, apparently I "cut him off" and he was upset.

To avoid the bigger accident, I swerved out of his way and hit the curb. Of course the jerk ran off

No body damage, and thankfully I avoided the pole that was there but definitely feels like suspension needs to be checked. Side air bags deployed. Had to a file a non-emergency report since it is considered a "hit and run."

anyone know a good body shop in Austin? The adjuster is coming out tomorrow. I needed new tires anyways :P Maybe they will replaced the tires for me.

Dang phantom that sucks that that happened. Some people just do not know how to drive nor change lanes. I had that happen to me once too except the other guy almost hit me and it was because my lane was coming to an end and merging into the lane to the left. The guy behind me was trying to speed up and the entire time whomever the passenger was, was extremely pissed off. He was literally half way out the window yelling at me most of the time and kept screaming for me to pull over to fight. I moved over another lane and watch them go by. His daughter looked like she was driving and looked almost embarrassed the passanger was doing so plus two kids were in the back and this guy was trying to get me to pull over because I apparently " cut him off". A turn indicator apparently means nothing to anyone any more right?
Then again I live in southern California in LA where most everyone on the road fits the description above.
-doesn't know how to drive
-doesn't know how to lane change and check blind spots
-doesn't know what turn indicator means.

I mean the Z's blindspot on the right side of the car is almost non existent due to the huge read windshield. The one on the left side through next to your head suuuucccckkkksss.


Back to your issue on finding a body shop, maybe google or ask any of the vendors on the forums of good body shops that are around that they would refer you to.

Yeap, the idiots are starting to out weight the good folk. You will get her fixed up. Someone tried to run me off the road also about a month after I got my car.

SPL parts are fun, and might be similar in price to any OEM broken suspension parts. Make sure to have your frame checked for being bent..

Dang. When an airbag deploys, you need to contact your insurance carrier and have your car checked out completely.

MR.nismo

Darkphantom, you did the correct thing by avoiding the other driver and all together avoiding a bigger accident. It sucks for the damage but rims, suspension and all the other parts can be replaced.
