Everyone knows that for breasts to be "perfect" they need to be within reach.
Okay so some pretty upsetting news after a completely awesome vacation... while taking the car apart the body shops computer hit an estimate of 4,600 dollars in damage (what the ?) and now an allstate adjustor is going to go out and look at it to see if they just want to total it...
If it is totaled, I've found 2 potential replacements.. one is located about 10 hours from me, but it is nice... Hopefully they'll get out to check out my car by tomorrow, I'll let you guys know..

Well boys... it took Allstate and the body shop 16 days to decide, but it is has now been declared a total loss. They are giving me 5,300 for it which I think is pretty damn good.
And for those that wanted to see how the new tail lights I got look on the car..:
Left my mark on the rear passenger tire well.
You can see my strut got a good hit too..'
Oh well..
I got some parts off today..
- Front and rear strut tower bars.
- Carbon Fiber C Pillars.
- Carbon Fiber Side Marker Deletes.
- Swapped OEM tails for my smoked TYC's.
- 2.0L 16V Injector Cover
I tried getting my Carbon B Pillars off but they were really on there. While I tried to get them off I actually started pulling the actual B Pillar off.
Tomorrow is the headlights, sway bars, and whatever else I didn't do yet. They want the car back by thursday. I'm putting my old shitty 17's back on so I can keep the R/T Wheels.
World's Only Twilight Blue Metallic Neon.
2001 ES.
Ran off the build line April 29th, 2001.
Purchased from Wayne Dodge September 12, 2004.
Mileage: 26K.
Options: Manual sunroof, power windows, locks, mirrors (heated also), fog lights, hammerhead spoiler, R/T Wheels. Origional color White.
2 Paint jobs, 2 sets of wheels. Many, many memories.
Date of accident: 04/13/08
Date of total loss decloration: 04/29/08
Final Milage: 72,xxx
And now the search is on for a good condition, low mileage R/T / ACR....
This thread is now called "My Bitter End" because that's the name of one of my favoriate bands, who ironically enough I was on my way to seeing when the accident happened, and this is a pretty bitter end for the Neon. Gonna miss it, a lot..
Thank you too everyone that helped me out on this site, with questions and suggestions and comments and what not. I really appreciate it on another level because no one else really does appreciate the car that much other than a couple of my friends. Thank you for all your concerns and wishes, it really does mean a lot. I've learned from my mistakes and the next car will be truly great..

That sucks man. In my short time over here, your car definitely caught my eye. No worries though, you'll move on to better things. The first car is always the practice car, now you've got a gameplan for a hot setup on the next one!
What are you gonna do with the AVS spoiler? I may be interested in it if you're selling...

Krack, I know the damage looks minmal, that's what I thought.. but the damage is where you can't see. Everything that connects the front suspension/wheels/steering etc is destroyed..
And Suave23 if I can get the AVS off I'll sell it to you for cheap. It's on there damn good..

I do collision work for a living and let me tell you, it's what's underneath that adds up. I can tell from the pic that the front post took a shot, which means a lot of time on the frame machine would be involved, as well as a lot of cutting and welding on the main structure of the car. You're better off getting a new car instead of having this one fixed.
As for the AVS, TRY WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT! lol

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

I wouldn't sell any of those parts until you get your new car. I hope you're gonna stick to an R/T or ACR Neon, and not an SRT...don't get me wrong, I love the cars, but you see 'em everywhere! Now, a unique Neon, you DON'T see everywhere. Sucks to see the old Neon go though...it was getting SOOOO nice! On to a better car now
