Default quick123 is BACK...finally

Ok, the car was done being repaired at the beginning of February, but it has taken me this long to finally have some time to update CL after the initial tragedy...

I included a PDF of the actual repair total, can't believe how much this ended up costing from just hitting a curb with the R/R wheel...World Collision and State Farm were awesome in getting everything handled smoothly, even with another snow/ice storm that rolled through...

Bonus repairs were getting the front bumper plate holes filled in, repainted the entire front bumper, replaced both front splitters (wifey likes curbs), and refaced front wheels (wifey again)...

Car drives great, can't even tell anything happened at all...only thing I do notice is that the shock was replaced on the R/R, and it seems like that corner sits higher now with the new shock...hopefully it will settle soon, if not I will just get coils (will get them eventually)...

I bought the car with Sumitomo's at all corners...getting a bit of road noise from the fronts (typical of Sumitomo), and they are a bit harder than I would like (the rear will break loose under WOT easily)...good tire for the cost, but I will go with another brand when these are done...
