God i love cars...i should just switch to a bicycle

So on Wednesday, I was T-boned in my 2002 Trans Am, it was the first time i really had it out after I put on my STS twin turbo setup. Some asian foreign exchage student who obviously doesn't under stand what a red light means, TOTALED MY CAR! I'm still extremely pissed, it only had 20K on it! And when i got out, he didn't even ask if i was okay, he just started ranting bout how "I" hit is brand new Porsche...man I'm glad his daddy has money.
Now for today's shenanigans...I was driving my GTP, and i floored it and at about 4000 rpms it started to studder. After a little investigation, i found that i had a bad connector on my #4 cylinder plug wire, where it connects to the coil. So the coil male connector is all rusted, and i busted the wire. All well and good right, just buy new wires...well nope, i ordered a set yesterday and like a dumbass had it sent to my parent's house, as Im down in college and have no place to work on it. Now i have to go buy a new set of wires. GREAT.

sorry to hear about your T/A. specially with the setup you have on it

[TheOtherNick]

Buy it back from the insurance company.

The frame is bent pretty badly, with two cracked rims and god knows what else needs to be replaced, i probably won't, but im deff going to pull the sts off of it....i wonder how hard it would be to make that turbo system work for a 3800? This could get interesting.

[TheOtherNick]

Thats what I am saying. Buy it back and get all you stuff out off of it. Or pull the whole engine and swap it into something.

[xringshooter7]

welp, i got the TA back for the demod, and im kinda sad. Ive been looking for a v6 5speed so that i can put this kit onto it. It should bolt up the same, except it needs about a 4" extention as the motor sits farther back. I'm really bummed because the only nice ones i find are convt's and i want to stay with t'tops. I wish that asian knew what a red light meant.

Math check? 22500-16500=6000

[BoostedComp]

[Bio248]

sorry about the T/A, but im not sorry about the STS turbo kit being gone. thats the worst turbo setup ever.

[KawaFord]

Um, destroy the asian kids face?

Then bang his gf and show her what she's really missing?

[wmshoemaker]

Take the quote to your (or his) insurance company and get them to pay. Or, you might have a civil suit against him. $6k is no joke...

[banzai7]

Glad you weren't hurt. Sorry about yer ride. That really sucks.

What's with the screen name? You a small bore competitor? Been to Perry? Not many people know what the x ring is.

Just asking.

yep thats what i did, i got another $4k from them, they discounted me 2k because it was customized, and it wasn't in my policy, and i guess the turbo had something to do with the estimate

[banzai7]

Ah yes. Archers use 'x-ring' as well. I should have remembered that.

Nice shootin!!

When my wife totalled her Saturn, we refused the initial offer and they gave us $800 more (I think). It was a '96 with 140k, pretty beat up, so we were happy with that. We didn't have any docs saying that somebody would give us cash for it, but I went to the local listings and pulled prices there for an arguement. It worked for the most part.
