Sorry for your pain Soul Stealer! Here's how to post pics..........

Upload the pics to Photobucket. Right click and copy the direct link to the pic on the Photobucket page. Come back to this thread and reply to the thread. At the top of the reply box (where you type) click on the icon that looks like 2 mountains/sun. Right click the dialog box and paste the link from the Photobucket page. Click OK.

That's it. Finish the text you want to include in the reply then post up.

It's so refreshing to see another asshat suggest felony fraud and at the same time drive our Evo insurance rates up.

I have a 2012 WRX and its been hit twice already. Both times by 2 different elderly women. I feel that ever since i bought my car, I've gotten into more "close calls" than when i had my used car. Good luck.

My 11' just got out of the shop. I was stopped at a red light in a turn lane and the guy behind me said he couldn't see the light and assumed it turned green.

The damage was barely visible to see, but I could feel the bumper cover was deformed.

The the kicker, I just got it back from the bodyshop yesterday. The shop put 5 miles on the odometer, and went through an 1/8 of a tank. I have the impression they joy-rided it and I'm not sure what to do about it since If I complain it will seem subjective.

I would say thats where the valet setting in a tephra mod is worth its weight in gold. Set the rpm limit around 2000. No one is going to enjoy driving that.

Oh yeah, the person that hit me had Geico, they remolded the bumper, repainted, recleared and replaced the black aero diffuser.

My rage is that the shop joy-rided the car for 5 miles

although it sucks that your car got damaged, this may be a good opportunity for you to upgrade to an aftermarket intercooler. More than likely, your IC got damaged from the accident, and needs to be replaced. I'm sure for the price of the OEM, you can purchase a much better one.

QFT - ETS will definitely cost less than OE and be a nice step up

Same thing happened to me... I was in a Saab at the time, and she was backing up because she decided to go straight versus taking a left. I had a car behind me, too.
