Must be something with Firefox on my work computer. I see the picture fine here at home with Firefox on my Mac.

As for the picture. Man, that sucks.

BUMMER!!
BTDT got the T-shirt.
Wrecked my 72 240Z back in '81. Ended up repairing the body and re-powered it w/ a 350 Chevy engine.

Update:

So called the body shop and they said it's going to be roughly just under $11,000 worth of damage... Parts been ordered and just waiting for them to arrive...

As long as there isn't a delay on parts, I should have my baby back by the end of February... Ugggh....

Tired of driving this boat they gave me.... Damn Buick....

Find out if you can make a claim for diminished value. $11K is a lot of damage. Almost 50% of the market value of the car.

If you can claim for diminished value, let them fix it, take the money from the claim, dump the car and order a new one.

Sorry about your sitchyation. It made me cringe to look at it; I can only imagine how painful it was for you. Glad you're OK!

Insurance wanted me to take it to Moritz but Service King was so much closer for me, plus my sister in law had her car fixed there when she got T-Boned... They did such a good job on her car, I decided to take mine there...

I don't know if they give you diminished value if liablity has been placed on you... Plus my insurance is already going to go up... Don't need it to go up even more...

Wish they would have just totaled it out...

Yeah I can't see the photo either when I am at work.

So sorry to hear about your Mini, what a bummer!

Glad the insurance is taking care of it in a timely manner.

Good luck with the repairs!

Probably your work firewall blocking my online storage site... Box.net

Well body shop called me yesterday and they said they've started to tear hear apart... Console & interior parts should be coming in next week...

He didn't mention anything about the exterior parts...

Uggghh... I want my car back... Tired of driving this damn Buick..... It's comfortable as hell but it's a damn boat... And it chugs so much damn gas....

And Americans wonder why nobody buys American cars anymore.... Esssh....
