Thought I would share my misfortune... Posted by MisplacedYankee [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I would have posted this earlier, but got lazy on the pictures...A few weeks ago my Viggen took its first hit (see link). Nothing too bad, but bad enough to have to do some decent work to fix the damage. A 16 year old kid driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse hit me along the passenger side while I was stopped waiting to make a right hand turn. It had just strated raining so the roads were slick and he came off the ramp a bit fast and couldn't stop. He did his best to avoind my rear bumper, but he ended up skidding along the passengers side hitting nearly every panel and both rims. It was low impact, but the damage is decent. Heck I never saw it coming since I was looking to the left and barely felt it. Everyone was ok so that is first and foremost, but I fear the Viggen will never look as good as I had it. All those detailing hours in the tank.
I just went down today to take a prelimanary look at the work and there will be a lot of re-work for them as I am far from satisfied. I am sure that by the time its done it will be good, its just a painful process to sit there and nit pick.
On the good side I got 2 new rims to replace one of the ones I had an issue with -- right after I got a great deal on a few used ones! Also tore off those Dunlop SP 2000s and put on Pzero Nero 225s.
While the car runs like a champ I haven't had much luck with it;) Maybe I need to go back and get an Aero again...I am certainly going to check them out next time I am by the Saab dealer.
<sorry for the length -- needed to get that out>
