Back in the day, my wife had a Honda, and it had a different shifting pattern than my Toyota. I remember entering the highway once and putting the Honda into reverse, which was where fifth gear was on the Toyota. The clutch was still on the floor as I remembered and pulled the gear shift back out. I'm guessing that it would have made a lot of noise.

Not sure why insurance is so expensive on it? That's seems quite high. What's your deductible?

Someone hit my new car in a parking lot today and drove off. I am not happy about this.

It's not dented, but they scraped a whole of paint off of it all along the front left corner. I have sent my entire army of flying monkeys out to catch and punish the perpetrator. I repeat: I am not happy about this.

Must have been a bunch of them wrecked.

RE: very few of them made. Watch repairs. Parts are going to eat your soul.

Did the monkey's come out of your butt. I am going to be one of those dudes that park way out in the parking lot. The exercise will do me good.

Btw, that does suck, with a new car and all...well any of our cars. I'll take paint off more so then a big dent and paint off.

Deductible is $500. No wreaks, no speeding tickets, no dui, squeeky clean record.

Buehler is correct. few made, parts expensive, +400 hp thus bunch wreched. Again, my mechanic recommended it and said it is easy to work on. I asked him yesterday when I showed it to him bout the insurance. He said "some" parts are expensive but as a whole not to bad.

Did a lil more research, says it does ~4.2 sec to 60?? that is a sedan and 700 lbs heavier the vettes? I let my cousin drive it. "No way would I own that car...I'd kill myself"

Ok well that makes sense given your deductible I guess. Had I kept my other car and made the 2005 Mustang GT I bought in April ($15K) our 3rd car, my insurance would have been $900 a year with a $1,000 deductible. So fairly close to yours. Since I sold my other car I got to transfer the discount of my old car with the 10+ year accident free and no tickets discount to the Mustang and my insurance dropped to about $600 per year now.

I wish. I have 4 drivers (wife and 2 teenagers) and 5 vehicles. That ~$1200/yr insurance is just for this ONE car!! I just ran an Essurance quote, came up ~$1,100 for the cts-v. Crud.

This is where apricot would've come in handy. Not many people have that smudged on their bumper.

That's a very good point. I could have easily caught and punished the perpetrator.

The good news is that my wife came home and I got a good look at the car. It's not nearly as bad as it looked in the photo she sent. In fact, I think the scrapes are almost exclusively the paint of the other car. There's a lot of it, but I actually think it can be buffed out, and I'm not sure it even damaged the Deep Sea blue of my paint.
