Anna's VW GLI DSG

[scheides]

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?

Get her in an empty parking lot with a layer of snow and let her rebuild her confidence. Practice makes perfect.

That is why we live 1.5 miles from my girlfriends work and it is all backroads, shes been in to many winter accidents. Really bad days I drive.

Glad to see she is okay .
