For those who asked, I'm totally fine, it was a fairly low speed collision. The guy was going maybe 15kmh at the most, probably closer to 10 though.

Bumper is done, I pushed the dent out, but it cracked up near where the trunk closes. So, going to get the insurance ball rolling tonight and see what the deal is. I'm going to see if whatever body shop who ends up doing it can also repaint my front right fender as well on the cheap since they'll be doing the work and mixing paint anyways.

Semi gave me a love tap hit & run a few years back. I just let it go. It's not obvious and I figure getting it fixed would just be tempting fate.

Surely your son has some young, strong friends you could hire to do that, while you sit back, sip iced tea and supervise -

Don't be overdoing there, old man -

I have found that your "buddies" are never available on moving day - however, they always seem to find the time to attend the housewarming party -

Glad you are OK.

Are you SURE that that rear end tap didn't push your car's right front fender into that sign along side the road ??-

I'm having a frustrating Saturday.. dropped the car at dealer for valve works.. garage drop a hint that they can change clutch at the same time. I'm thinking of buying Exedy or TRD uprated clutch/flywheel kit and now looking at engine mounts!! Getting expensive!! But frustratingly, I am out of the country one or possibly 2 weeks, sourcing parts, buying them gets more difficult!


And, the shops are closed today... window of opportunity closing!!!

Sometimes you just have to recognize a lost cause. Is it worth the time and frustration?

Hey, hot rod, their ain't nutten wrong with the OEM clutch and pressure plate for average driving. If you have messed up your clutch, by driving on the wrong side of the road, I suggest you have them just replace the clutch and pressure plate with OEM. Their is a good chance the flywheel is OK, they might want to sand it down a bit -

Don't forget the updated TOB!

Out of the country? Where you off to, the French Riviera? After all, it has been a long, damp winter, you deserve a break -

I try to remain a generally appreciative person. Also having to fill it for the second or third time in the nearly five years I've owned the car.
