No damage to the guy in front of me or the guy behind me...but it scratched the rear bumper, scraped the front bumper, smashed my hood in, broke out the grill, and popped out a headlight. Still drives fine, just have to figure out how much to repair the body...this has been a crappy year for me driving wise. 1998 T-Red CSVT (1492 of 6535) Born on 5/30/97 KKM 4.6L TB with custom "Throttle Optimizer" Bassani Exhaust NP-Tuning Sniper Intake Pipe Fog Light Mod with 885's Clear Corners Stereo - Oh Yeah!

That turbo kit fell right the hell off, charge pipes and all...I had to put all the original stuff back on so that it will run in the meantime. It also bent all my 18inch Momo rims and ruined my suspension setup, turned my 4 10-inch JL audios into 2 10-inch Crunch's, and snapped the Sparco racing seats. 1998 T-Red CSVT (1492 of 6535) Born on 5/30/97 KKM 4.6L TB with custom "Throttle Optimizer" Bassani Exhaust NP-Tuning Sniper Intake Pipe Fog Light Mod with 885's Clear Corners Stereo - Oh Yeah!
