I went to talk with my ins agent , they said .. "um ... yea , ur car worth $26k , if they quoted $27k we would have total it. the list only means we would pay and deal with them directly"
The place charged $1k for 1 15 inch rim (AMG sports package ) ..... thts some ***** they have

also, if you put a cage in that car, be prepared to wear a helmet at all times. Just wear your seatbelt and be careful

for a rear 4 point roll cage just for the peace of mind it would give me.
+ if he was wearing a seat belt his head should never touch the roof or a good cage. I've personally been in a car when it fliped with a cage with just a lap belt and no helmet, my head is fine!

my car was parked in a parking space and one of my friends driving his dualy wasnt paying attention and put his truck in reverse floored it and actually crushed a kid in between my evo and the dualy, everyone ended up fine except for the crushed kid had a briken femur, i guess that they didnt notice that the brake was a little screwed up from that and i guess that the brake got worse and worse as i drove the car and finally it completely failed me and sent me off the road, i wish i had taken a picture of the rotor because one rotor was completely chewed up because of the bad brake.
