    Dude I'm sorry to hear about that and you should think about getting some new friends... Black would look good though! Good luck and I'm glad you didn't get hurt or anything serious.

    What in the....How long where you looking down at your phone and how fast were you going?

    But anyways depending on how straight and good you want your car to look be prepared for MANY hours of sanding. If you don't get your panels straight before painting it period ,let alone painting black, its not going to look good at all.

    What are your exact questions about body work? I will try and help you with ideas, options, and how to's as much as possible.

    yea i know. thats something i have now learned and at least i learned young and no one got hurt. i hope this is a lesson to alot of people that think its okay to use your phone when you drive, this is a great example of distraction.

    Pictures will help alot with determining how to attach dents and such alike. Glad to hear that your alright and no one was hurt or involved other than yourself...as odd as that sounds.

    You're lucky.....good thing there wasn't anybody on the sidewalk or anywhere around you for that matter. I won't say how mad it makes me when people are paying more attention to their phones than the road.

    Well, you do it once and its hard to do it ever again. Your car probably has a little more bodywork that needs to be done if it was resting on its top than you imagine though.

    I'm not a hypocrite, so I'll say I use my cell phone while driving a lot, sometimes text but I'm always aware of my surroundings and living in iowa, if traffic is close to me, I'll put the cell phone down and drive...

    I already LOVE the GTP, its got some things that need fixing, but nothing major. The insurance company deemed my GT totalled, otherwise I would still have it, but in the end it all worked out
