Before and After Accident
Well, as some of you already know I was involved in a car accident recently. In short, I was rear ended by a Range Rover while waiting at a stop light! Needless to say I was pissed but the guy was very cooperative and took 100% liability for the damages. 
I finally got my car back a few days ago and was terrified not knowing whether or not the car would have the same feel. For those of you that have been in an car accident know the feeling. So here are some before and after pics! I just had the tail lights tinted to give it a lil more zest! I like it...what do you guys think?

Wow! 2 Tranny's? That's hard to fathom. So did you have the Transmission repaired on both occassions or replaced? How much did it cost you to fix them? I want to know how much money I need saved up in case mines go out...lol...real talk though....I would have dumped it the first time the tranny went out.
