And let'* not forget about Randman'* 1993 that has tons of custom work. I think he put it up for $1500.

My 95 is going for $2500

Lots of good deals to be found.

As I sit here writing this, I am dressed for ANOTHER friends funeral. Another of my boys died driving just like many of us do on a daily basis. So just remember one thing, your car may be totalled, but I'm not going to your funeral at 3 o'clock.

People: WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!!!

The n/a is more then enough for me now I've turned 30. If i had a SC 5 years ago I'd be doing crazy things like the classic of (Haro I believe) Nailing a curb in a parking lot. The n/a is effortless in passing and the rpm needle lounges at 2000-2200 going 65-70.

Right now I'm driving my winter beater 88 prelude (Yes a tiny A$$ ricer)but what sucks is its my car now not my winter beater. I got this just days before the tragedy.

Whoever said its the little things in life nailed it. God I miss turning off my car and the dome coming on automatically. Whats this a headlight switch did my bonnie even have one. Whats this round key for? Wait you have to manually unlock the door? Is this 4 bangers engine going to blow up going up this hill or what. How come my lights dont stay and help me see for a bit while I make my way inside the house. I work 2nd shift so I do alot of night driving and these thing were umm well what gave her a personality. I even miss that farting sound it made if I pressed on the brake to soon at start up before it was done checking off the brakes.

how did haro do that? i dont remember hearing about this.

you know for sure that the insurance company is totaling it out, i mean it dosent look horrible to the point where it would be beyond repair, my mom did more damage than that to our old lumina and it was still repaired. its worth a shot to try and convince them to repair it.

looks very repairable, but depending on suspension and unibody damage.

If they don't fix it, there is a 98 SLE, white, lower miles for $5495 here in binghamton. Been on the lot for close to 4 months, so price might be negotiable. I believe it even comes with a 2 yr/ 24k mile warrenty. Shape looking car and trustworthy dealer.

edit: found it: http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/in...ales&cardist=0

I was surprisedt was totaled out myself, but I am sure of it since I used all of the insurance money for my down payment on my new bonnie.
