Go ahead and have your dealer estimate the damage, for now.

where inside the underwear?
-Dave
BTW, where'd that little devil come from????
Jon
Pat, glad you caught that old pady before she wrecked your car. I hate parking lots!
Craig
Li'l Devil is from the other board

Juice- I dunno what it is about kids from Russia getting boring anglican names. What's wrong with the name they have? I knew someone who adopted a little girl from St. Petersburg; This kid went from Anastasia to........
Avery. Yeeesh.
Well anyways, I hope everyone had a good weekend; I know I did. Just getting over this cold that Bob now has.
Ooh ooh, wait I have story I forgot to tell you all from 2 weeks ago...
Out of the blue, just after finishing up loading out of a gig on Charles Street, I got decked by this random guy. He walked past us (about 5 of us) turned around, came back and sucker-punched me in the jaw. The band and the staff tackled him and held him until the cops came. Dude swore I was someone who assaulted him in Arlington VA.
The last time I was in Arlington was 1990 for a visit to the cemetary! I told him that. He'd already, er, met my friends and wife, and their respective soles and elbows, and I told him I'm 33 and married and never seen him before. He honestly couldn't believe it.
I ended up not pressing charges; he looked pathetic sitting there in cuffs, looking at me trying to figure out how I wasn't the right guy. In retrospect, I maybe should have sent him packing. It hurt pretty bad for a couple of days, and even now isn't totally healed. He's active duty too, can you believe that?
I'm lucky though I guess. Got all my teeth, nothing broken. And I've never been hit or been in a fight before, so chalk this up as an interesting introduction to fisticuffs.
I never saw it coming, laid me right out with a full right hander.
Bob
Hope you feel better.
Bob-
that guy is on active duty. He's probably getting court marshal anyways.
-Dave
...Anyway after the fact I don't care what their story is. They're getting whipped or they're going to jail.
Glad you weren't seriously hurt.
-Colin
"Feel better" to the people with the flu and those nursing accident wounds, "good luck" to those traveling to distant places to meet face to face with the most incredible treasure ever, and everyone else "take a moment" to protect yourselves and your Subarus. We seem to need a moment to reconnoiter. The bumps and bruises around here seem like a statistical impossibility.
Jim
Bob - Sorry to hear you shared your rear ender luck with the family.
Loosh - Yikes! FWIW, I think your reaction was very honorable. Maybe your tolerance will rub off on the guy and he'll think twice about throwing that punch in the future.

Glad you're ok
Eric
There is no excuse for what he did and needs to have a strong message to that effect.
Cheers Pat.
-Brian
So in my opinion, it's often not an isolated incident and perhaps the person should be cooling off in county for 30 days or more. Hold people accountable for their actions!
-Colin
You must have a twin in Alexandria. Still, the guy should have confronted you. To sucker punch someone like that is just plain cowardly.

Yes, it was the black one. That may explain the mileage (485) on it.
Colin- If I drove both back to back, I may come home from the dealer with a new Forester - something I am trying to avoid at the moment. That's why I'm really curious about the new Legacy/OB coming out. Then, maybe...
Mark
The bright light in this is the guy says ship it back and he will refund my money, but I am disappointed.
Cheers Pat.
If I'd really been hurt than I sure as hell would have sent him packing.
I bought both my 6CD changers locally, that's precisely the reason why. I'm lucky to have a big local market, though.
-juice
I hear that the Secaucus swamps are BEAUTIFUL this time of year, they'll never find him there hee hee.
-mike
That guy was lucky you're the kind of person that can forgive so readily!
Patti
I think he got the message.
Cheers Pat.
Since it's only 23 days away, the all-new Legacy/Outback is still off limits, unless of course you live in Oz-land, or in some other markets where it is currently on sale. <sigh>
Oh, and try and keep it to $100K or less, as we're still not out of this recession yet.
My picks:
* A silver STi with silver wheels ($31K)
* A loaded-to-the-gills, any-color-will-do Nissan Armada 4x4 LE (~$45K)
* A black/onyx 5-speed Baja turbo ($24K)
Total = $100K
Bob
Bob
Goodies for the GMC, $5K
STi ~$29K
'05 Legacy Turbo or H6 GT ~$26K
Goodies for the subies ~$2K
$100K total
-mike
Jon
Glad nothing broke, jaw fractures are no fun.
Cheers!

$11,000 -- 2004 Yamaha R1. 180HP and 370lb, that's gotta be better somehow than my current 150HP / 390lb sportbike. LOL
hmm that leaves $59,000. let me hit autotrader real quick.
...ok I'm back. And last, I choose a Porsche 911 (993 body) Carrera 4 coupe. Looks like they go about $50k for reasonable mileage.
I'll take whatever's left to get a used truck. For all I need, $2k could buy a good truck!
-Colin
'04 XT MT - black, $24k with goodies
'04 E55 AMG - black or silver, $80k
I know that takes me $4k over, but I've been good Santa! :-)
-Brian
We have been run hard and are all exhausted, but you couldn't beat the smile off my face! What a terrific baby & a wonderful travel group. I will post more in a few hours, but I have to take Emily & Annilise down for some food & let mommy have some peace.
Juice: I will give it a try later tonight.
Steve
So the '05 is off-limits, eh? bummer.
Then I'll take an XTMT for $26k (Ain't no $24k ones in these parts) plus $3000 for the JDM STi suspension and say another $2k for rims and tires. $31k total.
Then I need small and open top...Z4 please, with the 3.0l. $40k
Track car....I'm not too picky, there's a bizillion affordable ones in the back of autoweek, maybe a spec-Miata, or even a used WRX. I'll devote $15,000 to the endeavor, since I won't be able to get out there too much.
That leaves $14k for a beater truck, trailer for the track, and a late 60's Volvo P1800 ES restoration project.
I'd have put an '05 Legacy on my list as well
-Brian
Sorry guys, that was part of the ground rules.
Since it's only 23 days away, the all-new Legacy/Outback is still off limits, unless of course you live in Oz-land, or in some other markets where it is currently on sale. <sigh>
Next year, once they're on sale here, they will be fair game.
Bob
As for a fantasy garage, I'd just like to upgrade my physical one. I'd like a new (i.e., level and uncracked) cement floor coated with one of those nice spill-resistant paints, some rubber mats to stand on while working, more and better overhead and task lighting, and more ways to get stuff off the floor and onto the walls and shelves. This will probably translate into buying some pegboard at a home improvement store and nailing it to the walls come spring.
If I wanted to go whole hog I'd have someone dig a hole in the floor so I could go under the cars and do oil changes and maintenance without requiring a creeper. There's loft space in our garage so a lift is out of the question.
As for cars I'd have to say I must be hitting full midlife crisis. I've found myself interested in getting one of my favorites from childhood - a Porsche 911E, T or S of 1969-72 vintage. Of course I should probably drive one before I succumb to that fantasy. I can wait a while for another Subaru as I hope calendar 2004 will bring improvements to the XT and a successful launch of the new Legacy line.
Ed
Here's a big coincidence. I think I mentioned to you that my wifes cousin adopted a girl from China about 4-5 years ago ...... her name is Anelise. Her birthplace was Chong Qing. Is that anywhere near Annilise was born?
