Damn Road Kill

So last night I was driving down a dark 2 lane country road at 55 mph when I notice an armadillo right infront of me. This little road has a ditch on either side so rather than swerving and possibly ending up in a ditch I kept going straight and demolished the dumbass armadillo. Once I hit the dillio I knew I fvkd some **** up b/c it was so loud. I kept driving about another mile so I could safley pull over and see the damage, Its not too bad. It ripped off my rotary accent and cracked the front air dam thing so I went to Mazda this morning to see how much it would cost to fix. They told me 170$ + labor, so I asked well how much for the appearance package front dam and they said 470$ So now I am gonna see if I can find the appearance pgk front dam cheaper on line rather than paying Mazda 170 for what I already had. I am just a little pissed b/c this week I was going to buy the new iphone 3Gs but now I have to fix my car b/c of a damn aradillo

I know how you feel! Just Sunday night I was heading home on a 2 lane highway that i just turned on. I was getting it up to speed then this possum came out of no where. I hit it going 45 mph. The front lip and the accent were damanged. I just payed out some money for an intake. I've got it fixed for now, you cant notice it unless you know where to look.

Good luck with the kit! (screw the iPhone!)

Night driving can mean bad news for 8s!

I ran over an already dead cat on my way home. I was driving too fast to slow down or swerve, but it broke my heart nonetheless.

And I had just came back from washing my car.

Anyway, why would you choose a silly iphone over having your car look badass?

Poor cars...never had a chance. Our sympathies are with you all! Living on the Eastern Shore, I have to watch out for deer all the time. At least one gets hit everyday during mateing season on our main road. Tricky lil buggers!!

although a MS front bumper would be sexy its just not in my budget right now. Does anyone have a picture of an 8 with the appearance package front damn without any of the other appearance peices? I have a feeling it will look un-balanced
