magically, my headlight doesnt even have a scratch on it!haha! it just got popped out from the housing, breaking the bracket underneath it. i talked with my mechanic, and the front bumper he can fix with fiberglass, but the rear bumper and radiator is gunna be the problem. im seriously considering to just buy a turbo or gt rear bumper and possibly a turbo or gt2 or gt3 front bumper, and just squeeze the money out right now.(i was planning to do this in a few months anyways). but right now, i just want to drive my porsche! geez..crashed it on my birthday too. TOTAL BUMMER.

I know the feeling of wrecking your Box, as I did it before in my first one. I was merging onto one of the side streets on semi wet conditions, when the back end broke loose on me, which had me run smack into a sloped median. Totally my fault for speeding, but I wasn't going too fast. The merging lane was not smooth at all which was the cause for the back end to loose grip. Funny thing is the city re-paved that section just a couple weeks after my car was wrecked.

Good thing for me, I wasn't hurt, and the insurance picked up the tab. The bad, was the wait for all the repairs. It took around I want to say 5 1/2 months to repair.
