Not a good week.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Thankfully, at least you're OK.

Although it's painful to see your car in that condition, it actually looks like it survived the impact relatively well.

Hope the repairs work out well for you!

Thanks Guys

Baijaiman:

I was thinking of doing a few goodies and go through insurance if possible. I read about your intention of putting the c32 xhrost on your 200k but they didn't have and other zhrost would just void warranty.

I asked about the Carlsson quad exhaust and I could get it for $2730 which I thought was OK...considering other places are willing to charge me way over 3 grand for it....
