My car got hit today, rear quarter and tranny damage.

Punks like me huh? Punks that get whacked by some barely english speaking lady and now their car isn't driving right? Sure, I know my tranny was already weakened, but I also know when something changes, and it did. So, for the record, you can suck this punk's dick, okay?

On another note- I went to the body shop where I plan to get my work done. He estimated the damage to be about 1,200.00 worth. He said if I replace the bumper and taillight, he'll paint the whole car for 1800.00. Hopefully if I get the 12 from my insurance, I can then get some money to get the other body parts and get the car fully done. The guy said he does alot of individual coats and takes his time, and I know his brother very well, so I'm kinda confident that I'd get a nice job done.
 
WooHoo. I got approved for a Visa through my work, 500.00 credit limit. Now I can put that toward my repairs and pay it off quicklike. This is a Godsend! I was nervous about getting it all done, but, well, WOOHOO!
 
how much man? Anyone have any reviews of the Stallion bumper? I've gotten mixed info, because it's fiberglass. I've yet to knock my front end into anything with my car, and I know fiberglass can be patched whereas urethane can't, so what's the word on this thing?
 
Be really careful on the paint job....and good luck with it.

Oh, regards the "some barely english speaking" comment -- heck, it wasn't that long ago the majority of folks on the continent were "barely english speaking". Had one or two battles in certain wars gone the other way, the whole continent might be speaking Spanish or French. Taken over the long haul, the language spoken in a particular part of the world is pretty arbitrary; your prejudices might be showing through. You could be typing this post in Spanish saying "some idiot who only speaks english hit me today". Let it go.
