Anna's VW GLI DSG

[scheides]

Ghey, Anna got rear-ended by a 99 ford taurus tonight :( Hopefully we can get it fixed on the cheap; it was hit on the same corner a little over a year ago when we were picking up hughes' evo in ann arbor.

On the flip side, the ecu is getting reflashed soon, and even have a chance to put on an uprated FSI fuel pump (mounted on the fuel rail). Supposedly with a reflash this can net 25hp and 35tq....I'm waiting on some dyno graphs before I even think about it :)

I had the exact opposite happen to me tonight :(

I'm glad Anna is ok, sucks about the car though.

It's totalled, time for a second Evo.

Oh man... this weather is claiming its victims. I'm glad to hear Anna is ok.

[Febo]

ouch yeah, sorry to hear about the VW, glad anna is ok as well.

Shitty Scheides! Hopefully the car isn't too bad, and I'm glad to hear Anna is fine.

Glad to hear anna is fine! Hopefully youll get the car back in fighting shape soon!

Dang!! That blows! Hope the damage isnt too bad. :(

Got an estimate this morning, I guess the part of the bumper cover that was damaged is replaceable, and its a non-painted part (just kinda black plastic), so damage is estimated at under $500. Hopefully the whole process goes smoothly but my main concern now is getting anna back behind the wheel. I drove her to work this am and canceled my schedule'd dyno appt for the evo at DB today :( I need to figure out a way to get her confidence back up behind the wheel; she was in a spin-out in her lancer a few years ago and just doesn't want to drive in the snow anymore.

time for an AWD ralliart + snow tires? :)
