the SVT isnt too bad on gas..anywhere from 20-32 (on lonnnnnnnng trips) and i usually average 22-26 normal driving (or my driving, not sure if normal is the word) but i dont see you in anything but either. and yes, they did have a Sreamin Yellow in 03 as well i believe. but whatevers for you, i guess you can still hang, since chris does
jus kidding, you know were all here. and im only about 6 mins 32 seconds away, so if you guys need somethin im right down the street
From looking at the car here is what I beleve it needs.
Front bumper Cover
Rear bumper Cover
Left Front Fender
Right Front Fender
Both Headlights
Upper Grill
Upper Radiator Support
Lower Radiator Support
Front Bumer Re-Bar
Possibly Front bumper mounts
Hood Latch on Upper radiator support
Rear Right Suspension Parts
1 Rim
Drivers Seat
Rear Hatch
Rear Right Quarter Panel
Front Right inner fender
serpintean belt
Rear Right inner fender (????)
Thats all I can gather it needs from looking at right after the accident. I did not crawl around under the car or anything. We will just see what the apraiser sais.
Yep, and they don't require me to be there while they look at it. You can't get the full effect of the interior damage until you get in. The seat is broken.
Dan, you didn't even begin to cover the suspension damage. I'm certain up front will need some components as well ex: pwr steering pump and more. It's not a cheap fix if they decide to go that route...don't forget the fuel fill and all that down in that corner. Oh and my driver's door

it was totalled on the suspension damage alone. having that large body panel in the back all messed up would have done it too, thats serious body work.
Can I have you fuel rail pressure sensor and shift cables?
Oh my god. Chelly I am wickid sorry to hear about this. I knew it had to be important since it was stickied up top, but when I clicked and came in here, I was shocked. I'm glad you didnt get hurt, I cant believe that happened on the highway like that. Damn. When you're in the market for a car again, if you're interested, you can always take my car off my hands. Whatever the buyout is, its yours.
This all sucks, it's 3:30 in the morning on Sat the 22nd and I evidently fell asleep @ like 9-9:30 tonight. I was so tired. My client's at work were shocked that I was even at work yesterday.
You know, I know it's good that I didn't get hurt and it's "a car, it can be replaced", but call me crazy I hate the thought that it wasn't my choice to give up my car. I was ready to crank over 100k miles on that car and keep on going. It's really depressing.
I keep trying to re-run the whole incident in my mind, what I could have done differently - I could have just not gone to work, but that wasn't something I had a choice over. I could have not taken the hwy, but it was too late in the am to make it there the back roads.
My biggest situation right now is that my car doesn't start and obviously won't drive anywhere and we're going to get slammed in the face tonight with our biggest snowfall so far this season. We may be getting over a foot to 2 feet! I've got to get my damned car out of this lot ASAP and the adjuster hasn't been by yet. I'm really frustrated with that. I don't want to have it hauled off just anywhere because I need to strip parts before they take it away. I have too many custom/aftermarket things on it and in it to just let it go to the junkyard like it is.
My Euro Grille, gone - need to put my stock tails back on and get my euros off - have my indiglos & aluminum guage bezel - intermittant switch (have an old sedan one I can throw in) - then all of my personal stuff. The hatch is going to be a challenge to get into and get my bra out (was waiting for a day over the freezing mark to do a full wash and put it back on) - I have led bulbs in my switches and have to pull those and put the stockers back in (thankfully have some spares).
I'm just really andgry at the whole situation. Mad at myself for not seeing the slush, mad at the damned truck that changed lanes without indicating and forced me to move over so I didn't get creamed by him. Mad at the fact that I didn't chose for this to happen. Sad that my baby's going to a junkyard to sit and get full of bugs and eventually be crushed. So it's not a living thing, but damn, I worked really hard on selling my 4Runner, researching the Focus itself, going through 5 dealers to locate exactly the one I wanted, fighting with my ex husband who wanted to torch it and hid it on me for 2 weeks before I got a court order for him to cough it up. Just so much work into getting a car that wasn't a lemon and was dependable to just end up in a heap in my back yard.
Yes, I'm ok, but sad - really didn't need this in my life either. I keep trying to view it as everything happens for a reason. I've located an '03 yellow ZX3 Power Premium with a moonroof just like mine in NJ. Cost, about the same as what I had just refinanced on my '02. I just need to wait to see what the adjuster says. I already have my Credit Union set up to finance my next car if I need to.
Sorry about my rant, but I'm just really pissed.

Sorry that your having to go through all these emotions. To me you sound like a responsible person who really took pride in their accomplishments. Including, going through hell with an "ex" and comming out feeling good about herself. Hell, sounds like this car was like a prize to you - for you - by you! I'm sure we all would feel the same way.
Do you need some help with the car? My wife and I live in South Berwick we could help if you if you need. I havent been around here but a few days and I can already tell you folks here would go out of your way for eachother, and I'm no different! If you need help, let me know.
I don't get the whole "bra thing" why would a girl leave her bra in a car so long? Don't you think its gonna be cold when you put it on? Those metal thingys in the back would freeze your skin!
Your less than an hour away.....yell real loud if you need anything!
When she talks about the bra, im pretty sure she means the one for her car
Chelly, I know how you feel about the car, you always took pride in her, and everything you did to her. You have taught me so much an dI know that you will continue to do so from her eon out.
Anything you need. you know my number, ill be there.
