Default Armored Car - 1, S4 - 0

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/65318/img_0002.jpg"></center><p>A big load with thick steel bumper does a lot of damage at 5 mph. The armored car had no damage - didn't even leave any paint on it. The S has about $4000 in damages.

Had to vent.

Default Owwwwch!!!

Came close to getting swiped by a grocery delivery truck last night as I was entering the grocery parking lot. The truck was parked street side just before the entrance. I start to pull over to enter the lot - I'm alongside the truck. I begin to turn into the lot and the truck begins to move forward. Yikes!! {swerve} Very close call!

That's what I hate about these kind of delivery people. They think they can park anywhere. Then they jump in the truck and just go. There's a reason why there's a No Parking area there - so people don't cause a hazard/accident!

Default He let me merge into his lane, but didn't pay attention when traffic ahead slowed - I hadn't ...

completely merged into the lane, which is why I was struck at an angle with his driver side bumber.

Default It should be finished next week, so you are still on for Piggie Pipe duty.

I'd like to come to watch/help install your labrees. Did you get them yet? I figure you're joking about doing DPs on both of our cars at the same time, right?

Default Dude, you've got Altezza tail lights now!!! :) hahahahaha!

Sorry, had too.

That hella sucks. At least now you can get the whole back bumper fixed for the little dings that were on there.

any chance of getting exhaust tips fixed in here as well?
