Man Russell, that sucks. I remember seeing your car at the tech day we had at Don Herring. You're car was so perfectly maintained. Looked brand new, even underneath when it was up on the lift. I don't think it will ever be the same after getting repaired. I know you are a perfectionist, so you probably won't be happy unless you get a new Evo. I wish you could have caught those vandals in the act.

Insurance companies are so powerful. They control the government by ''political contributions'' and then rob people legally. I hate them so much. The country im from insurance is a luxury not a requirment. If you don't have it and you hit someone and can't pay, you go to jail. Why not make it like that here. You dont want to pay for insurance fine, but if you dont pay, you go to jail. That way its a matter of choice and they dont charge you the price of your car payment every month for the dang insurance.

Yah getting your car broke into sucks. When my integra was stolen and stripped I had a brand new Canon S50 in my duffle bag in the trunk. I was more pissed about that than the car.
Stealing the car is one thing. But having my camera with pictures of me and my friends just plain blows

Hey, we here at vividracing feel bad that people are so low to mess with our cars. and we are sorry you had to be the last victim. One pro to having insurance paying for the damages is they pay you an estimate price so go the the most expensive (dealer) and then fix it yourself way cheaper and that will allow to upgrade or get the parts you want. Best of luck! from all of VividRacing!

I HATE YANKERS!!!! my subaru got stolen and it was pretty much the worst thing that has happend to me. Mind you it only had like 330 whp but I loved that car and put in so many hours making it what i wanted it to be and when I was finally (somewhat) done some little bastards stole it. I don't feel to bad for those guys because the head gasket was leaking and the tranny was shot... (motor swap was coming) so screw them and I hope they all get arrested!!! That sucks man, My most sincere apoligies.
But Vivid is right, even though you feel like crap now, your car will enjoy the new money going into it. With everything bad that happens something good always shadows so let us know what pans out for ya

At least you will be using an elite body shop.

Good luck on your claim. I've had my window broken out and about a dollar in change was stolen.
