that was work on the blue TL!
Drove the black one to work today...man it drives smooth not being as lowered on the koni/h&r...if only they were adjustable, I would have left them on the blue car. Put the old roof spoiler back on and washed it this weekend. Damn she looks good, not sure I should let her go. She drives so freakin smoothly too.

Out here they make you drive your own car. You have to be seasoned or some shit to drive the POS mail trucks.

My favorite thing and day!
Kev and Johnny...sho you right. I know I need to stop hoarding!
Damn Black TL drives so smoothly and looks so good. I really should raise the blue one up a bit, it's crazy how much my taste in ride height has changed in a few years.

Just dropped off my baby

Now going to pick up a rental. Shop says Allstate won't pay for new OEM bumper wheel and stuff so it's going to be used.. Time to give Allstate a piece of my mind

It's gonna entail either welding in that entire quarter (they actually sell it, it's it's own part number)...or slide hammer and bondo.
Those suck, man...

I don't understand why they can't use new.

Are you getting multiple estimates? Maybe another shop will be better.
