To lighten up the tone: Did the driver of the other car claim "She blinded me with Scions"?

:lmao: :love: :lmao: +1 for that


Finances got me. Even a used 2006 Subbie is too pricey for me (at least $22k with 50k mi on it) so... yea, I can't afford that. :|

You can pick up a second hand Golf V GTI for less than $18000

:hug: How bad was it hit?


Question time! I'm getting myself EBC Green Stuff brakes for my car, the shop I went to last time said they replace the brake fluids no matter what and I think I have 27k mi on my car, don't remember :cry:

Would I be able to get away with just replacing the pads and holding off on the fluids or.. would it be best to get fluids replaced too? I wish there was a Haynes manual for Scions, but they have yet to make one period. :mad:
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Shops like that probably don't bother with bleeding brakes. They have those sweet pumps that cycle fresh fluid through the whole system. It's a lot faster and easier for the shop and brake fluid ain't that expensive anyway.
 
:love:

Waiting to get my EBC Green Stuffs then I'll be feeling much safer about braking in traffic <_<
 
Nice xD, i love what you did to the front bumper :)

What was the insurance claim amount for repairing your car?
 
Hrm... It was $300.80 ( :confused: ) for the guy to put the vinyl on and then $6500 to repair the actual damaged areas of the car. So $6800-ish.

Very happy with the vinyl this time around. They took my bumper off and the vinyl guy fit it behind the bumper :love: Still have a strange scratchy sound when I accelerate, and when I lean down to the speaker in the door it gets louder.
 
Glad you're not paying that amount :p

Just gotta say that my dad hit a pedestrian that walked out of nowhere in the dark and it was misting outside, $3K worth of damage done by that guy.

Amazing how much a pedestrian can do to a car.

Scratchy sound from acceleration, hmm wonder what the problem is, probably something small or normal :p

Glad that you got your car back :p

Yeah, sound tends to get louder when you put your ear closer to the source. Does it on my car as well. :p
 
It's not a normal sound, trust me :)

A few friends said maybe its the wiring in the door not... uh... put back together correctly? nfc.
 
Its still under warranty isn't it?

Go to the dealer, shout at them :)
 
You'd think the dealer would be a good place to go, but they're not. I don't trust their techs at all. The techs are paid hourly and get incentives to push out a certain number of cars daily. When I can I'm going to have the body shop take the door panel off and look at how they put it back together.
 
Since I got my car back I noticed the tab to secure the wiper blade on the arm has popped out on occasion which I push back in to place. Today I had time to look at why it has started doing that. Apparently, for some odd reason, the tab that clips on to the actual arm was broken. How do I know this? I can see glue on the wiper blade housing where the hook is supposed to attach. Man, I've already filed a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau), going to see what I can do through my insurance company. What else can I do to ream these guys? :mad:
