Kingphilip, my ex used to say that nature would wash her car when it needed it. I kept telling her to at least take it to a real car wash once in a while- hell, the oil change place down the road has a decent wash bay. She ignored me and then complained when she had to lower the selling price of her car. That GA sun will rip the paint right off a hood, roof, trunk, etc.

Vugy79, that truly sucks. I would wish you luck with her insurance company, because I've noticed lately that they hate dealing with older cars. I had to fight them on my parent's Honda- 10 years old, less than 70k and they wanted to total it- and give her $4300.

Just grab the bull by the horns and hold on for a ride. Hopefully all will go well, but remember that you're the victim in this case and they have to work with you. Maybe your guy can do a complete respray if you throw some extra $$$ in.

 

ohhh i got them now there giving me 2100 to fix it ill post pics once its all done it should look nice!!

 

That's good to hear! I'm glad they gave you a good amount of money for the damage.

 

My uncle was so proud to tell me that ever since he got his Isuzu Trooper he haven't done an oil change, he just adds oil whenever the oil level goes down, and he's had his Trooper for 10 years now. And what's funny is he thinks that the oil actually evaporates that's why the level goes down, I didn't wanna argue with him but I wonder how much sludge it's engine has by now cause you can hear the engine knocking from a mile away.

 

If you truly think he'll get upset about the truth, try to get him to trust you with it for 15 minutes, tell him your gonna wash it/fill tires or whatever then surprise him by doing a proper oil change, I think that would be cool. He be all like "wut it runs so good now boi"

 

Or you could wait for the day his engine siezes and say "I told you so"

What is it with SC's getting into accidents?! I was rear ended last week

 

Cause you got a big booty? lol

 

aww yeah, not to make us sound mean, but does someone that naive even deserve the help? Maybe he really should learn the hard way, learn his lesson better. If he doesn't trust his own nephew, then i guess it is better for him to save himself the trouble and let his uncle end up talking to a mech telling him damn dude why you don't change your oil son?

 

how much are the door handles?

 

dealer here had them for 67 for the interior handle brand new people on ebay try to sell used for 100

 

He must not have to deal with emissions, then. You get one whiff of smoke here in the Peach State (round ATL) and you're done.

 

so i finally got the car lookin halfway decent after the hack job the body shop did on it well here are some pics ohh and i also did finally get the door handle that started this wole thing ha ha

 

Looking good man. What bumper do you have?

 

^ That looks amazing! Great job returning the SC back to it's original beautiful color!

 

Love the color, I assume you'll be tossing the sides and rear in favor of a matching kit? That front bumper looks enormous with the stock sides.
