Ah true that. That makes sense. Have to get in early and bake everything eh? Sorry about the experience, at least it was something with a sweet story, instead of some retard racoon or something.

If you happen to know anyone with a really high-dollar ride, I would ask them. In my experience, Porsche owners are the pickiest of all if you know any. Otherwise, as Ranger said, contact car clubs in your area.

Robbieg, When is the BBQ?

The buzzards beat us to it, I went back that afternoon to take some more pictures for insurance with a tape measure for scale and the buzzards were already starting in on it.

Yeah I'm in Florida, I'm sure with all the elderly drivers here they've heard it all already.

Where in Florida? I live there too and if your close to the Deland Deltona area I know of a great body shop! "Crossroads" in Orange city!

Man Robbie, as a future GO owner, let me just say that those pictures of the damage could bring tears to a glass eyeball. I feel like sending a sympathy card or something, "so sorry for your loss"

All the shops I know are between Naples, Ft Myers, etc and Port Charlotte... looks like I miss you by a few miles. Good luck man.

Sucks to hear about your car....it sucks to hear about the hog too! We hunt hogs in Okeechobee all the time with a couple dogs, no guns. Go to Need2speed.com in the South Florida section. There are a lot of guys from that area on that forum. You can also call up the guys at BMR Fabrication. There in Thonotosassa (outside of Tampa) and would more than likely know of a shop in your area.

Some pics of my sons first hog. 2-3 dogs bay up the hog and we come in and grab a leg to control it (not as easy as it sounds). We usually take em out alive. I was going to get this one mounted being his first hog, so my boy killed it on the spot. It's much harder dragging out a live hog vs. a dead hog!

Cool pix David, that's stuff you & your son can cherish. :nice:

ZipZap04 1/3/07 05:51 PM

that sux man. i got hit in my exp in behind. cost me 3500(needed new bumper, rear door + hydro's, lights, light housing, quarter panels and most of all, paint and labor). I would say by that it looks like about 2500. figure in lights, housings, fenders, body alignments and all. If ur fender aint in bad shape a good shop could bump it and save u about 500. I hope u didnt pull any part out??
