damn.. that bumper took it like a champ for the most part but the hood and grill are F'd i am guessing around 2800 total cost damage.. no total loss.. unless frame damage and engine damage.. but if frame is good my guess on total cost stands 2800.. let me know how close i am on guessing =)

Never left the house. Already did my shopping early on eBay. Got some good deals a couple months ago. Just need to buy one birthday gift for a buddy who's girlfriend invited me to his party. What do you get the guy who has everything???

She just got towed off to the shop will see what they estimate. bumper,hood,grill, driver side front panel,a chunk got ripped off the drivers side headlight.and the radiator was pouring out fluid so obviously that too.. I'm going to be curious how this will work especially with my headlights because I have a lot of money in mods into them and they will just give me an oem one. and what will happen with the front aspec lip if they will give me a new one or take mine off and remount it to the new bumper . Ill have to bring that up and see what they say.

It's funny how that works. You give them your $$$ every month and then when you hit something they don't really give you what is fair (because they only have to make you 'whole') then they say, "you hit something, so we are raising your rates," and then they bump your payment/rate up by 20% after the accident. I never understood that buisiness model. Isn't the money you already paid them intended to cover the cost of the accident should it be your fault? If only 6% of their insurured have an accident, then where has all the money gone to???
-And- You're fucked both ways. Because if the car is paid off and you choose to only carry liability INS and set aside the money you would have spent on INS into a special "just in case I have accident savings account" for car repairs, THEY STILL RAISE YOUR RATES for the liabilty INS.
Giant rip-off as far as I'm concerned.

Has better CCA than an optima, tons of people are running them on 8ths with good results. And it's damned cheap... lol. It's made by Deka and re-branded re-sold by a variety of companies for more money.

I got lucky. The guys at ETS killed my battery in the RDX and replaced it for free, and then the dealer replaced the TL battery under warranty. I bought rechargables for everything else, so I'm covered. Unless of course, the Mayans were right and time as we know it stops on December 21st. Then who cares.
Should we party like rock stars on December 20th?

specs on the battery you posted shows CCA is 325.. the optima D34 is 750CCA i think the stock tsx battery is 410CCA or something along there.. only thing nice is its half the weight but i like the extra current and plan to run a decent stereo at some point
damn if that happens i wont have enough time to finish my carbonfiber stuff what a waste of time i did just recently clean my guns so i am ready for any looters or zombies.. if you can hold your own and can make it to my place i might beable to help you out. i plan to head for the hills though if something happens.. rocky mountains sound nice haha

My bad, for some reason when you wrote optima I read odyssey. I figured you were talking about the light weight batteries.
#8385
ya.. i thought for a sec a braile battery but there CCA is super low.. i wish they made a small battery with a huge punch but i dont think its out there..

just can't believe google can't handle the high sales demand and get their own ecommerce store to get jammed causing many problems.
didn't know until late last night that, Nexus 4 was in stock again yesterday at 12pm but got sold out in a minute or two. after that google started taking pre oreders and even that stage got jammed and couldn't place a order without the spamming trick. got my order for two Neuxs 4 with 2~3 weeks delivery date. hope that i get them before christmas.
is that yellow top optima?

Big electronic buying season, sign of our revamped economy. Have two or three items on the wish list myself but two new tires and a 4 wheel alignment have taken away my Christmas budget.

My cat is acting weird too. Here in southern Oregon it's been quite windy. The Pineapple Express is on its way
