Saved the car from being totalled after a woman stopped in the left lane of traffic (no turns ahead or behind her) for no reason, and i was checking my mirrors, and didn't have enough time to stop. Fucked my car up bigtime, but after fighting my insurance company like a rabid badger, the shop i took the car to for an estimate said that all OEM parts to repair the car (they didn't understand that my car has a motor that has parts they can't get from a scrapyard) was going to cost almost 10 grand, i told them to go fuck themselves, called my buddy tyrel (Casa Grande Street Rods) and asked him for a favor. So he did a "custom" evaluation, and managed to get the insurance to pay out about 3500, and i paid the other 2500ish (we both found parts for FAR less, and got an enormous number of upgrades) out of pocket.
