It's a shame the morning news doesn't mention things like snow and other weather related items almost every ten minutes...

I agree with the SRT4 thing. You can find some really cheap if you look around. I hope it's not totaled, I know that's your baby.

umm heres the story now. i guess insurance called my mom earlier and told her that im probably gonna be dropped from the insurance policy and that im not gonna get covered. idk wtf is going on. she just told me this now. im gonna call the insurance place tomorow and see what the hell is up.

Insurance companies reserve the right to refuse coverage if they feel you are too high of a risk to insure.

You probably would have been better off replacing your engine on your own.

Damn man, I've been following you car since I came here, since before when you had the massive wing. Damn dude, that really really sucks.

I hope everything works out well with the insurance and all. I would definitely try to fix it, though. Good luck man.

I've seen badly beaten ones for 7-8K at the lowest. Anything decent is going to cost you 10-15K easy.

$15k

Where are YOU looking? That is insane pricing. You can find them on SRTforums FS section all the time for much less

Do you really want to go there? I'm sure I can find you something.

The idea of a beat to shit turbo car does not thrill me.

Name me some cars that will beat an SRT-4 under 10k. I'm really interested in this.

First of all, glad you and your friend are okay.

As for you running summer tires in December..yeah thats not a good idea. Anyone who owns a neon in the midwest should have a nice set of winter tread or at least all seasonals.

Sucks about the insurance company dropping you. But I could see that happening due to your past event with the CAI water ingestion.

Cause they're fuckin' great cars! Dirt cheap to keep up, dirt cheap to mod, you can beat the hell out of them and they just take it, etc. I actually want (and may buy) a 2nd one.

Um, contradict yourself much? The "newest" F body is older than the oldest SRT-4.

Manny . . 02 R/T front end swap, with SRT hood. . . FTW.

Manny, don't get into anymore accidents or car trouble for about ten years. Glad your ok.

Ouch that sucks, if it doesnt get total out I vote for this front end swap

If you get srt, put some winter tires on it, or you'll end up doing the same thing, just while going faster.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 8:53 am

Well, as long as you haven't done frame damage, just replace the parts yourself. Certifit bumer, junkyard hood, maybe a fender? Should be pretty cheap.

Get yourself a good set of winter tires. I'm glad to hear you and your friend weren't hurt.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 8:55 am

If the core support is fubar'd there's probably other frame type damage that would have to be pulled and/or replaced...

yeah if they cover this. im surely gonna fix it and not drive it until summer time. itll be summer time before i get it all in one piece anyways.

and as for the srt4 bumper idea..well idk. ill just have to wait and see what happens. i kinda wanna go oem bumpers with lip kit and slammed on megan coilovers and call it a day. u know everything oem looking. but still the same surf blue paint job.

Texas pretty far away from Indiana?
Does look really clean though. I would offer 7500 for it due to the high mileage. Also make sure they did the timing belt/water pump...

Thats only if your car is totaled of course.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 11:54 am

Your bumper looks camo now....sucks what happened hopefully they cover it

v95 · Post by **v95** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 12:46 pm

another nice neon gets f'd up. dude sorry to hear this tragedy.

I agree on the srt-4 parts though you can find some really cheap if you look in the right spots.

Tires are bald, headlights are foggy as balls. I'm sure you could talk them down.

ok.

well im home now from class. gonna start my srt4 car search..just in case it comes down to buying a srt4.

in other news.. insurance will get back to me in a few days..

hey i know theres a few of u on here with srt-4s.. how much do u pay for insurance and who do you have it with ??

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 2:55 pm

With 2 recent claims on your record, expect to pay out the ass.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:04 pm

Yup. A lot of people swap so they can just pay the insurance of a regular Neon. SRT insurance is already higher, let alone with several claims like you've just had.

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:02 pm

If you get full coverage you're going to get fucked in the ass. I pay $70 a month because I own the car.

suave23 · Post by **suave23** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:03 pm

I wouldn't advise buying an SRT with your insurance record. If your car is totalled, either buy a swapped car or just buy a cheap newer SXT and do the swap yourself.

If you decide not to listen to me, I'll sell you mine for a good price. lol

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:05 pm

A small fortune compared to my SXT.....like more than triple what I pay on the SXT with a clean record.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:27 pm

Damn that sucks. I think this is an opportunity to do a clean neon without a huge wing, body kit, or fart cannons

That SRT has been listed on eBay before. I recognize it. The sideskirt is broken too and the seats look like someone either took a dookie or jizzed on them, wtf?

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:46 pm

i would say find something with an lsd if u go with an srt.... but that is just me.... good luck on the search and insurence company
