Default NJ Transit bus side swiped me 8X

my first pics to post up of my car. Sucks to be bad ones huh? Side swiped me from the back to the front bumper. Literally ripped out my bumper light. my Sideview was just straight hangin. i put some sticky stuff up for the time being. Not to mention he popped my tire. And the alignment is slightly off

Unhappy sorry man...

mikey, im sooooo sorry to hear/see that man... as a fellow cl and GS owner, it hurts. and as long as YOU are ok then thats all that matters... but things happen for a reason, right?? and judging but those pics, there isnt much mods on your car, is there? NOW... u get a NICE estimate... get ur car fixed and GET A BODY KIT... and some NEW, shiny chrome rims your car will look sweeter after imho goodluck and when your car is fixed, post the new and IMPROVED pics

Mikeyboy, that really bites the biggie whole, man, but like the others have already said, i'm
thankful that you're okay. hopefully they'll pay up quick so you can be back up and shining
by summertime.
BTW - what town were you in when that happened? i want to make sure i don't drive there.

PEACE.
