Well I'm not worried about how other people feel about me cheaping out on repairs. Appreciate the opinion but I'll throw that one out. I am not worried about how it looks if the car drives fine. And the bumper isn't just chipped its cracked in a bunch of places. So sanding and painting it...

Estimator guy just left my house. Damages were $2300 roughly so I had him write me a check for $1700 (deductible subtracted). Car is not totalled. Now I have to figure out what I want to do with the check. Options: 1. Fix car myself, pocket remainder. 2. Pay off car 3. Buy tires/ misc...

Adjuster is suppose to call me today or tomorrow to get the ball rolling. I decided if it is indeed totalled, I will go one of two routes: get a 80's pickup, or a motorcycle. Love my car, but the reliability makes me want to drive it, and myself, off a cliff. If it isn't totalled, I probably...

Was driving back from ATX, and blasted a doe in Southern Illinois going 70mph. Bumper cover, grille, fogs, headlight and the plastic trim on the bottom and wheel well are toast. Also bent the metal around the grille on the hood. Windshield is cracked but it was already, might as well try to get...

Mine are only a few months old but are fine so far. I believe I had to get the 30mm for my Sport. Unfortunately I was a cheap ass and did not change my links too and now my they're done for. One actually popped out of the socket....just found it when doing my brakes today.

^ Yep that's what my plan is. Put a bit of money into dressing it up and fix all the tiny things and go from there. I know the timing isn't "proper" to sell this car in my area, however I live in a town where people go through cars like a pack of smokes so it's not abnormal to sell cars at...

I posted $5k on Craigslist to see if anyone nibbled on it, and nobody did. So I went to $4k which is ideally what I'd like to get out of it and got a bunch of trade offers (not trading) but no cash offers. I have a buddy who said he'd take it for $4k in a few weeks but gotta take that with a...

Selling my LS so I can move to ATX. Not sure what it's worth on the market. I know wholesale is $1500, KBB is $5000-$6000, and lost on what I should ask for it. I'm in the Chicago area. I could put a little into it cosmetically as well if that will boost the profit. 2000 Lincoln LS Sport...

PM me, email me, or text me. 2244061204 2000 Lincoln LS Sport 3.9L V8 Black, Sunroof, Khaki Interior 91k miles (mostly highway, former business car) Mechanically: 9/10 (Needs a clockspring) Cosmetically: 6.5/10 (Needs a good buff, and has some minor scuffs and dings and cracked...

If I nail down this new job to replace my current I'm hopping all over a used Jaguar XF. Probably not the XF-R because I'm not that cool. Love my LS and put a lot of time and money into it, but I only paid 2,800 for the car so I wouldnt be upset parting ways with her.

I bought mine with a bank loan, granted it was not nearly as much money.

Thanks, I think that thread is way newer and a diff setup though. I will just PM him anyways.

If that had a vagina, I'd consider putting my......this is getting weird nvm. Good luck!

I'm fixin to do my exhaust real soon, and loooooove this sound. Does anyone by chance know what he has on here? I read somewhere that it's a dual/dual magnaflow in place of the resonators, but not sure about anything else on the cat side and on the tail side? Or what the part number would be for...

I wired it to the fuse box bolt, and the rest to a relay (stole from the heated wiper seats), and the 12v I tapped into the passenger foot panel. All is working, still need to go sit in traffic. On low, it is still moving a ton of air and is pretty loud. So hopefully it'll be fine. I do not use...
