Went to the track on Saturday, drove the car all over the place on Sunday, and enjoyed the drive to work this morning. I'll try to drive a bit extra for you guys today.

Wow, Sub - unless you have a super-rare special edition, I'm pretty sure they stock the front bumpers in California.

My car was basically a front bumper, light, hood, radiator and ac condenser as well.
I have yet to find a body shop that moves fast. They did however do a good job so i can't complain. But I was without my 996 for almost the whole summer.

You guys are scaring me. I think I would die if I couldnt drive my car daily. Maybe I should use the sidewalks or get the wife to walk in front waving a flag lol.
