    I hope that was not any of us, but that Taco looks like it is still drivable. Built like a tank they are.

    I had a jackass drive into mine on the 29th while headed to work. Fucked up my front wheel hub and brake caliper, broke some chucks out of my rim and left a scuff on the front valence, but took out his entire fender and ripped the bumper off. 20230628_233649.jpg 20230628_233649.jpg 20230628_233703.jpg

    Used Chris Chitsey from A Plus back in 2019. He was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. Highly recommend.
