FINGERS CROSSED!!!

I really want to start modding my Mini and can't even wait! So where will I get this money you ask?!?!?!? I have a job interview tomorrow for Stingers coffee at 4 and I'm extremley nervous because I really want to have my own money and be able to say "yeah I earned the money to have that done"! I recentley got into an accident and my Minis out of commission.... got hit by a hummer no estimate yet but it's claimed to be around $6,000 on my 07 R56 S, so while my Mini's getting fixed I want to have the wheels powder coated anthracite ( the wheels are S-winders ), brake calipers painted red, JCW cross drilled rotors installed ( which I have ), and my H&R springs put on already..... I think it should look SICKKKK my airbag did deploy but just the one in the steering wheel did, I got hit at around 40 and the hummer no damage from what I heard cause the SOB ran.... EVERYONE KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED this is my 4th interview since I got laid off from my old job at BMW cause of the economy and not hired anywhere else again due to the economy.

Ran? (S)He might not have even noticed . Naw, (s)he probably just didn't want their already astronomical insurance rates to go even higher.

I freeking love him to death, but I really want a job I'm tired of bumming off my parents it's not right...

Best not to chase. If someone ran, they are desperate already and you don't want to give them a reason to hurt you more.

Glad you are OK. That's the main thing. The car can be fixed or replaced. This sounds like an excellent time to do the mods. Ask if the repair shop can install the new stuff while they have your car apart. They might give you a good price on the labor...

Good luck on the job front too!!

Firstly, I'm glad that you're ok. As someone else said, the car can be fixed.

Secondly, I wish you the best of luck with the job interview, I can only imagine being in a situation where the economy's bad and you're not employed.
