I think you should be fine.
Just make sure the shocks are properly installed and if you're worried, get a strut tower bar for that extra re-enforcement.

Do you think I should seek legal advice, make the shop pay for all the damage and maybe just sell the car and make them pay the GAP between depreciation and the true car value?

no offense but that's what a little kid would resort to after he f'd up something "i found it that way". no dealer is going to believe especially if the know the recent history of the car.

No worries

On Saturday I'm picking up a beautiful LeMans Blue 2008 E92 M3 Coupe fully equipped 6MT

Some say... there's no bad shit that won't turn into good... or something like that lol

Burt Reynolds · 03-04-2009, 10:00 PM

You traded the Z???????????? say it isn't so.

Congrats.

reRESERVEDFX · 03-04-2009, 11:55 PM

Yep Burt! I traded the Z. This car is great but for everyday use, I had too much worry that I'm gonna one day lose the underbody. I feel quite bad, but M3... come on

When I found out that I would be able to afford it, I think I felt something wet in my pants

Pictures mandatory on Saturday

I also thought about an 06 E60 M5 they had on the lot but decided to get a newer M3.

pbdm4k · 03-05-2009, 12:53 PM

If you don't mind me asking, what are the payments like for the M3?

reRESERVEDFX · 03-05-2009, 08:09 PM

$1198 month

reRESERVEDFX · 03-05-2009, 08:22 PM

I won't be able to sleep tomorrow lol

reRESERVEDFX · 03-08-2009, 07:20 PM

New car, new troubles... Got busted doing 66MPH in 45MPH and actually went to jail for that :/ The 'new car' talk didn't help....

Burt Reynolds · 03-08-2009, 07:33 PM

dude...tell me you are kidding!

mpower03 · 03-08-2009, 07:56 PM

no way, that sucks man about getting pulled over and especially for going to jail. But congrats on the car!

post up some pics please.

reRESERVEDFX · 03-08-2009, 11:10 PM

Nope Burt, no shit. I also travel a lot so I have IDL and realized my Illinois DL was left in the other car. So NVDL + 66 in 45 = court + 1500USD

And BTW - I don't know if any of you ever got arrested but the way they treat people is horrible.

And btw. Will I have a criminal record that will show every time I apply for work? I heard the guy tell me that it's just a misdemeanor and employer will see that but won't care about it...

Damn that sucks....

Maybe you can get a lawyer to make it go away?

Good luck....

reRESERVEDFX · 03-09-2009, 02:16 PM

My lawyer said it should be fine. The ticket won't go away but DL charge most likely will. $500 for the lawyer + depends on what the judge will say about the case.

GP20 · 03-09-2009, 02:58 PM

DL = driver license?

I don't see how not carrying a driver license would equal a ticket.

Just show up at court and show the judge that you have a valid license? Or get signed off at the police station?

pbdm4k · 03-09-2009, 03:09 PM

good lord...

you need to get the lead out of your shoe!!

Hope everything turns out okay for you.

reRESERVEDFX · 03-09-2009, 03:30 PM

New car and I wasn't used to it. He was in the wrong place at a wrong time. That's all I can say.

Burt Reynolds · 03-09-2009, 03:31 PM

I would get an attorney for sure. Might be able to make the whole thing go away. For what it costs, it might save you over the long term with insurance and etc... Good luck.

reRESERVEDFX · 03-09-2009, 03:42 PM

I had International Driver's License on me at that time. He said it's invalid and well... try to argue with a cop. Hopefully everything will go away. It was a sheriff btw.

Rick Hunter · 03-10-2009, 03:07 AM

$1500... Shit, dat's a lot of mod money down the tubes.

reRESERVEDFX · 03-10-2009, 01:00 PM

Tell me about it.... :/
