That Sucks

Don't feel to bad it could have been a lot worse.

I drive to Florida in 12 hours like a Bat out of Hell without any problems.

I let my better half drive my S last March in Florida to give her a good bath and look what happen. She (my better half) didn't last 10 miles in Florida and She has driven my S less than 10 miles since my S has been fixed.



I had to buy a New Car Hauler and have a friend tow her back (33 hours ) to Kalamazoo to get my S Fixed.

my main question would be is how did the driver of the corolla not hear the veilside! Even if it was just idling

Probably ramed into her to stop the pain and bleeding in their ear drums! j/k

Sucks to hear Tony I'd fight their insurance since it was obviously their fault. The inflated dealer price for a complete OEM exhaust should cover what you paid for the Veilside right?
