agreed 100%...i was surprised she left a note as well. i know most people would not have. i think she was just scared (she sounded like she was 12 years old on the phone...typical rookie accident)

WORST thing she cud have hit you sharky....LOL....

but yeah am glad the damage is not so bad.....and that she was nice enough to leave you the note....
lol well hey man, at least she only smashed a part that i can replace myself without having some body shop do it for me! that, i was happy about. for as bad as it is, it could have been much worse.

thanks man. accidents happen, it's best not to sweat the small stuff. i'm lucky i even have this car to begin with. besides, chicks dig scars.

i'm happy to see it was only the bumper and the tail light. what a pain. there goes a week of your life for your bumper. at least now if you had any blemishes in it...they'll be gone! keep us updated. i feel your pain shark....(sigh). another injured TL.
yeah i called my insurance right away and gave them her phone number. they said they would contact her and get her information.

i'm not even having a body shop do the work tho. i'm just getting a check cut to me and i'm buying/installing the parts myself to save some loot.

as stated above, she sounds like she was 12 years old and i wouldn't last long in prison.

Sorry about the fender bender or should I say bumper bender. hope she gets fixed soon.

Bushings for the RSB can be bought from jegs.com that's where I got mine like 4 years ago when I got my bar. I don't know the part # though. There's a thread floating around somewhere with a link and info on it.

Try Excelerate and see if they can send you a set of poly bushings that are included with the Progress RSB.

his name is Brady, and i adopted him from TLtrigrl's (Jamie's) brother Bennett, and his wife Kristin. i can't thank you all enough for giving me this opportunity! he will be very well taken care of!

just another reason why i love this forum and everyone i've met through our ownership of TL's.

Congrats on the doggie. I've always wanted an English Bulldog too, but I couldn't find one cheaper than like $1,100 from the breeders. We ended up with a Black Lab that we adopted for free, so we came out okay. We just got his nuts chopped off yesterday actually.

For meets, just put down some towels and get one of these harnesses:

thanks man. and i agree, they are very expensive which is why i am so thankful/blessed that this opportunity presented itself.

good idea on the harness. he actually came with one kinda like that which i'll use when i walk him. where did you get yours with the seatbelt thing? i like that idea.

I don't have one (that was a generic pic), but I notice them all the time at the pet store. Pet Smart should have them.

aaron-

hope my brother told you brady likes to chew on things. he chewed on a few things in the back of his MDX. my brother was not pleased, but he'll live.

you need to get one of those big ole backseat pet covers that tie down from the head rests.

i know! i can't imagine him being 35 lbs heavier haha...but it's all under control now.

he is so much fun...took him out in the snow on saturday with my neighbors dog. they really hit it off...he seems to get along with other animals great. very laid back and chill. they made yellow snow-cones together.

i'm glad everything worked out and brady is going to be well cared for at his new forever home!! i know its hard for my bro and his wife to let go of their "kids", but at least they know he'll be well cared for and they'll see him from time to time at meets.

i'll hit you up on some of things we discussed when it gets warmer out and my bank account recovers (like after taxes).

though my training schedule might be a little crazy by that time too (i have some responsibilities to fulfill with regard to my tri stuff, so gotta stay focused)...getting ready for race season!!! its all in the prep!!!

sounds good! just let me know whenever you're ready, maybe we could knock a few things out at future meets.

stay focused on training! don't slip up!

no shit man...ugh. it was so hard saying "good boy, brady" or "brady, you're awesome!"

i'm thinking about changing his name to suggs, they kind'of look alike.
