    i cant believe the shit that just happen to me a few hours ago. i was at a red light and there was a white car behind me and then all of a sudden wham a blue car hit the what car and then hit me. and supposedly the blue car was hit and run by a truck. but i never seen no damn truck that damn lying bitch. and the state trooper said only person at fault is the truck that ran and all of our own insurance has to cover our shit. well i only have liability so my insurance aint gonna cover my shit. and on top of it all i didnt have my insurance card so i got a 116.00 ticket. sorry everyone for the rant just really pissed right now. i will take some better pics in the daylight and post them too.

    Sorry about the damage, that blows.

    Here's a pic of my first hooptie. Not a Toyota, but still fits the theme of the thread. Hard to tell from the pic, but to this day it had the nicest paint I've ever seen from a thickness and gloss standpoint.
