Front bumper is damaged but I believe the crash bar is intact. Steering wheel air bag did deploy. Luckily it was slow speed (roughly 25mph) and I didn't hit a tree or anything. Just went into tall brush. I'm pretty sure salvageable but he passenger rear quarter panel has me worried. Undercarriage is good.

Damn dude! I'm really sorry to see that! Hope you are back on the road asap!

As for me, I got my windows tinted Friday 35% all around. I tried taking pictures but its a pain to try and capture its true look with an iphone. I was talking to the shop about clear bra options and for $1400 they would do the whole car...Has anyone done this? It would give me an excuse to go nuts with paint correction so it would look flawless under the clearbra. I noticed Kenchan going nuts with the clearbra film recently and thought I might try to do it myself but patience is not one of my strongpoints...

Ive had the car over two years and did my very first carwash. Honestly I liked doing it. Wifey and I decided to do it together with her altima. $10 for washing both...not bad. :-D

Oh.....and I highly recommend the eagle1 interior cleaner.....that stuff is awesome!

on my way to a of all things corvette cars and coffee meet this morning, I got pinned in my lane and hit a dead animal. the deceased managed to break half of himself off under my car and get pinned between a cross member and my exhaust. He began to cook, and cook he did, the smell? unbearable!!!! anywho i got home pulled out the power washer but it was (leg im guessing) lodged in there. i had to get a metal rake out and pry it out, while taking in the smell....... ooooohhh the horror.

I really like the look of the black door handles, really adds a nice pop to your car. What % tint is that?

Removed my headlights so that I can send them in to Daedalus Customs in Maryland to have them customized and also received my Nismo Carbon Fiber B-Pillar inserts and put those on too. The inserts look great. Looking forward to having the headlights done. Gonna suck being without my car for 2 to 3 weeks while I wait to get them back.

Funny snippet...When I moved back to Michigan from Phoenix AZ I got pulled over in OK with the uhaul truck for being within 300' of the rear end of a semi...kicker is the semi passed me and then pulled into the right lane and then I got pulled over lol. I had a family friend and my mom driving my car behind us and her husband is a Michigan state trooper. After he made them pull in front of the uhaul and he got the full story he was the nicest guy ever. I wish I could remember his name to put in a good word on his behalf.
