I have a shop in AZ that does all my repair work. they mostly work on Porche's BMWs, and the like. They take care of me because I bring them lots of business through word of mouth.



well so far is 7k and their is no mechanical part in that estimate yet like i said the LC arm need to be replaced,,,, also front left side where most of the impact was done i think is the ACD pump and reservoir had leak the oild i want that brand new,,,

Superficial damage on an evo is very expensive. The headlights are 500 and change a piece. The intercooler is $700 and the oil cooler is $500. Do not forget the $2000 acd pump under the headlight on the drivers side is probably done. I had 12k in damage to my car. The officer wrote down 1k in the report.

that absolutely psychotic logic that you got there, person A is responsible for person B's actions, is shocking and scary. i think all of america should be terrified to know that you believe this is a recourse.

if, prior to the crime, the thief told the truck company that he is going to steal one of their trucks for use in the act of a crime. and they purposely left the keys in the ignition, then maybe you got some beef. but you got no beef with the truck company so let it go. you scare me more than a 6'10" viking warrior with a battle axe.

True about the superficial damage, Sport Mitsubishi did some work on my Evo. they did good work... it did take longer than they estimated, but they made up for it by giving me a 2007 Outlander for the 2 weeks I was supposed to have my Evo.

That saved me 2000 mile that would have been on my evo.

Sport Mitsu is a good place. glad you chose them

Get used to it... a bartender is responsible for a drunk driver's accident because he should have cut them off.

if you leave a loaded gun on a table, and a 6 yr old grabs it and shoots himself, you're responsible too.

the trucking company enabled this theif in his crime.

thats crazy psycho logic.

the bartender is doing business with the drunk. he has a responsibility to conduct responsible business.

if you have a gun and a 6 year old in your house, you are responsible for both, thats implied.

but a thief and a trucking company? they have no connection. there's no implied responsibility.
