Well earlier today... I was just minding my own business, heading home to do some cleaning then would of been putting my new (well used) zq8 sway bars on.
Out of no where the car that was next to me comes sliding into my truck!
The douch bag that hit her ran the red light trying to make it in front of us cause we had just gotten the green light. So my poor truck needs a bunch of work.... New fender,hood, bumper,grille and who knows what else.
I ended up alright other than wiplash, so now i have a script for vicodin!
But damn common people pay attention and leanr how to drive.
COMMON!'

It will get fixed but damn!
I guess there is a lighter side....A new bumper with out all of the nicks in the paint from rocks! and will get the steering prob fixed it has a lil slop
And i think i could throw my ac prob in with it!
I was really lookin forward to putting those zq8 sway bars on her and seeing how it handled, but i guess i have to wait now!
Thanks guys!

Man that sux! But glad youre OK. Looks like a good time to get the gray part of the grille painted white, a new bumper, maybe spend a little extra from insurance payout and get a goodmark hood. Might need to check the radiator support. Bumper brackets , parking lts and the headlamps are needed it looks as well. Who is you insurance?

I have geico and I opened the hood and the rad support is done.. the brackets need to be replaced and the other things also...
I was really pissed earlier I am glad all i got was some wiplash
The grille needs to be replaced its busted the mounting points for it
I sent an e-mail to s10 warehouse asking about the parts.
Maybe they will get back to me. If i could get the parts on the cheap and they are already the right color! ya kno!

WTF is going on? All kinds of bad luck this weekend. I hope the insurance pays good so you can hook your truck up.

Well i am going to get the coils and leafs from the guy at the junk yard cheap so...he said 200 bucks for the zq8 coils, leafs and the steering box
tho i might be able to get the box from the dealership depending on what they find wrong with the front end.
If they say the steering box is bad i am going to try to get them to replace it with the zq8 one even if i have to pay the difference!
So maybe some of the zq8 rims? any suggestions on what else would look good instead of those rims?
or any other suggestions on some good upgrades.
I am really wanting some more power out of her
Thanks as always you guys are great!
