damn went to the autobody shop yesterday to see how well my car is going...so far they took me back into the shop and they let me take a look. All they need is some suspension work, paint and new bumber and new dash. My heart skipped a beat when i saw her there...naked....i i i can't talk about this anymore...too traumatic for me...

i will be back maybe this friday...

I feel your pain Greg.  When my bf and I got in a wreck in his 5-month old WS6 TA (which he actually only had driven for 2 months, because it was in his parents' garage until he sold his other car), we would go and check on it almost every other day to see the progress.  It was in the BS over 2 months and it was sooo hard to go and look at it, but we kept going to make sure it was being worked on properly and "she" was doing OK.  We took pictures of it after the wreck, and on the frame puller.  It was tough.  But just think of how it's going to feel when you get her back.  She'll be soooo pretty!

damn 2 months in the shop and in the FRAME puller!!! ACK!!!
that sounds bad...i had $10,000 in damage on my 98SE...the insurance company didn't total the car cuz they said most of that $10,000 was from parts....for example just the airbags and a new dashboard alone is at least $3,000. My car seems to be doing good tho...

That totally sucks Greg.  Did they say how much longer they'll be on your car?
