No I haven't.
I think you have to make a few more changes to your car than I have to have any chance of winning RotM and I don't have any interesting pics for the calendar.

Intrepid I was just in Gimli with one of my kids. He races sailboats. Tiny little town!

 

[Intrepid]

that's a long way to go to race a sailboat , and yes Gimli is a tiny lil town especially compared to the GTA lol

 

[JonnyRotten]

Yes it's a 24+ hour drive and we did it straight through.
On the way there through the US and through Canada on the way back

 

[Intrepid]

did you do the drive in your Civic ? and if so what are you sitting at for mileage ?

Nope. We had to pull a trailer with a bunch of boats on it. I have a Yukon XL Denali that we use for those kind of trips.

that must have been a nice little tap for fuel for that trip, i have a F-150 with a 5.4 in it that i barely want to drive to work let alone on a road trip , I did do 2 trips to Calgary and back thou in my Civic and would do it again in the drop of a hat

The Denali has a 6.2L and runs on premium. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for all the fuel. The people with the boats on the trailer have to pay for that.

This is what your car looks like when a stupid f*ckin dump truck decides the come into your lane while your still in it!
I'm so worried about how the repair will turn out. I'm OCD so it has to be perfect.

Despite the emotional hurt it actually looks like it can be fixed without any problems. Take it to a good shop and you'll never know it was there. I also have a black Si so I feel for you.

The proper way to fix it is to remove the side window and the rear window and cut out the rear quarter panel and weld the new one back on. The bumper will be resprayed and the mud guard will be replaced. I am crossing my fingers that it will look brand new again when it's finished.


I'll try to get some pictures of the progress.

I don't see a shop cutting that out based on those pics. That looks like a relatively minor repair. Just get a decent shop to do the work. Still sucks, but it could always be worse.

welcome to the 9th, and nice color choice!

The pics don't really show the damage that well. The scratches are from where the lug nuts on the trucks wheel made contact and the panel is pushed in pretty good. I found a good shop so hopefully everything turns out OK.

 

[JonnyRotten]

This is how you fix it properly........
Gonna be just about brand new when it's done
