Glad you are ok and it wasn't major

Maybe when that car hit you you kind of slid and hit a curb and that's why your rear tire bubbled? And from the impact somehow it damaged your HID ballasts


Meet me at the Compton Swapmeet at 3:00 AM .

HellsAngel

come on, be thankful its not that bad... i know it sucks but... it could have been worth...

Lexani1217

that is such a pain. i can feel what you are going through cuz i live in VA, and while i was in MD someone hit me while it was raining. my paint scratched tho, so yours is not too bad man

samaritrey

MD drivers suck along with WVA drivers lol.

ROLLNNN

thats true... well now that i think of it, maybe it shouldve been messed up, then i woulda switched to a quad

oh soo true.. funny thing is, when she got out of her car and came up to me, she said she wasnt speeding or anything, its just this rain??? sure....
i was watching her car in my rear view mirror the whole time, she had so much time to stop, i really think she just wasnt paying attention.

Thanks Karo

hahaha... im surprised that didn't happen..

i dont care who you are i will never go to cpt swapmeet at 3am.. haha

thats true.. and i am thankful... i think

youre right mine isnt that bad, but driving around with that on my bumper sucks! I took my car to C&C collision, one of the top body shops around and they told me more than likely there is damage underneath, so ill have to wait and see.... dealing with these insurance companies is annoying too. How bad is your bumper?

were surrounded by bad drivers everywhere!! haha

samaritrey

Yeah all of us are great drivers. every one else are the bad drivers

Lexani1217

my bumper has scratches on the left underneath side. i mean you cant see it unless you go up to it, but we all know how we feel about our cars. if there is something there, it will bother YOU, haha. i talked to a specialist, he said that mines would cost roughly $200 to fix. if there is damage under ur bumper, then it is def. going to cost you more.

ROLLNNN

Continuing with the good luck with this car, or with me in general, After going to Flight in Huntington Beach, i roll over to get some albertos, then head to my cousins apartment on Warner just west of Beach Blvd. I eat and leave within 30 mins walk out to my car and its gone!!! wtf!!!! yes 30 mins and it was towed. I didn't hear the alarm cuz his apt was kinda far from the spot i was in. I was in the tenant lot with no permit... thought it might have been stolen at first, since my cousins 550 was broken into a few months ago. we talked to the 2 security guards there and they told me it was towed....

so after driving down to Santa Ana and $265 later, i got my car out...

good night

W203E35

WTF!!!

Mine got towed yesterday
I too have an Albaster White with CF spoiler and rims (you know you've seen my car - got 19" VOLK Progressive ME recently-only change since last you saw it).

I know how you feel bro. Atleast you got her back

TemjinX2

damn that sucks. i'm surprised they were able to tow it. Since our cars don't have tow hooks in the chassis.

bdgdl08

+1, and their cars are so low!

W203E35

The way they towed mine was this plate slig under the car. And they put these wheel locks and lifted the car.

I know on my car when I jacked the car and the door was locked the alarm came on. I wonder if Rollnnn's did too.

bdgdl08

That must be a nice feature to have. We '07s don't get any cool buttons.

ROLLNNN

yes my alarm did go off, but i couldn't hear it since my cousins apt was kinda far. I know it went off, cuz when we talked to the security guards outside they told us it did and they were surprised that we didn't hear it and didn't go outside.

They probably towed mine the same way as yours Karo.

thecocainekids

nice ride roland. how you been man?

benzc200k

I just read through all 14 pages, Nice car. You've made some impressive progress.

jreC230

Damm that sucks Roland at least it was towed and not stoled

kobe1980

Roland,

i had similar experiences you had when adding a head unit to my C230. i went to all kinds of places & they wanted obscene amounts of cash to not even give me exactly what i needed. or they said it just couldn't be done. until it was recommended that i see Pacific Stereo in Riverside.

yeah riverside's far, but from reading your posts, you seem like it would be worth it to make the drive if it meant making your ride that much nicer. i'm the same way.

anyways, regarding steering wheel controls, i actually found one on ebay... from portugal. it wasn't the PAC unit... but another brand. i had Pacific Stereo install it. i also left the box in my car when they did & the guy told me they ordered 3 of them.

i think the site you can get them from is connects2.com. or PS can probably order one if it's not in stock.

though i must say, i have a Pioneer AVIC X910. not a kenwood unit. but i'm not sure if the same cable will work. they can tell you though. as far as i know it's to link the CAN BUS protocol the steering wheel buttons use to the HU. so, i'm not sure if it'll work on the kenwood or not. like i said, check it out. just may!

also, the cable i got works to advance the tracks and do volume control. i don't believe the pioneer one did both. hope this helps, & good luck if you've not gotten your steering wheel controls going.

kobe1980

i have stock speakers also. but lemme tell you. adding an external amp and a subwoofer is ****ing amazing. you wont believe how amazing your stock speakers can truly sound with a new HU, amp, & sub in the mix.

kobe1980

that's BS. it's not that hard to swap out the HU. call Pacific Stereo in Riverside. you don't need to change speakers. as far as the amp, i'm not sure. i did change my amp before adding the HU. but you can keep your own speakers, & they sound GREAT.

i got the Pioneer AVIC X910. it plays DVDs, has ipod, bluetooth, nav, etc. i'm very happy with it.

ROLLNNN

been good man, what about you? still DJ'n?

thanks!! still hoping to do a few more things...

true man, this is basically the only reason i didn't go crazy, when i had to pay $265 to take it out of the impound lot...

ROLLNNN

Kobe,
I haven't had the steering wheels controls hooked up yet, but i really want to. I might have to give that Pacific stereo a call. I heard about a module for the controls that Kenwood sells in Europe, but hard to get over here. Im sure its something similar to the one you got, ill check out that site. And heck no i wouldn't mind driving out to Riverside if they can do it...

As for the stock speakers, i know what you mean, mine sounded way better when i changed out the head unit.

I also just listened to Jre's(jreC230) system, he has the stock speakers up front with an aftermarket sub and amp, and his sounds clean and bumps way harder than id ever need it to.

ROLLNNN

down in LB today doing some last minute Christmas shopping, decided to take a couple pics...

FrankW

like the last pic

i haven't seen neither of my car that clean in a LONG time. lol

jreC230

Sweet! Glad you liked the sound Roland Like i told you when you're ready to upgrade yours let me know and ill hook you up
