I'm sorry to see that Christine. I know you've put all kinds of work into topless, but at least it wasn't worse. I hope it doesn't cost you too much to get fixed, take care, Keith

lx mike · 10-11-2002, 06:42 PM

Christine: I thought maybe you had an accident!! is it just the one skirt?? maybe you can clean it up with some rubbing compound or something to make it look not as bad.

ever think of writing a book about your adventures?? between the "house from hell" and the car you could make some money of your misfortunes maybe.

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 10-11-2002, 07:13 PM

Ouch thats no bueno

The bottom of my cars front fascai looks like that too. If you look on the bottom there is no paint left only fiberglass. but you cant really see mine so its ok hehe.

bigred90gt · 10-11-2002, 07:20 PM

That really BLOWS!!! It is still a beautiful car. Have you talked to your friend with the shop yet? Maybe he will do you a favor and fix it this weekend, since I'm sre you se him alot and bring him alot of business. Sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you Sunday. Good luck.

Crazy Horse GT · 10-11-2002, 08:36 PM

oh man that suck's, i think you need to buy a beater to drive, hope you can get it fixed before the show. good luck.

OnMy3rdStang · 10-11-2002, 09:25 PM

YIKES!!!!

I'm sorry. I know how you feel. My Coupe has a black eye from a big cement cylinder in a parking garage because some idiot decided to cut me off and i had to swerve.

It doesnt look too bad definately repairable. Hope you get it fixed soon.

srv1 · 10-11-2002, 09:45 PM

didnt i tell you Christine to get a truck? tsk, tsk, tsk.....

i really wouldnt worry about it. as long as it is not severely cracked, it wont be hard to repair. your problem is not as big as you think from what i can see from the pics.

well, when your done crying, give me a ring!

HotRoddin · 10-11-2002, 11:18 PM

Ouch !! Thats enough to ruin your day ... but nothin that about 275 bucks won't take care of

mustangman65_79 · 10-12-2002, 05:05 AM

I know to u it lokks bad, but it really isn't. I know u can get it fixed in time, u always do

10-12-2002, 10:06 AM

OUCH, dang Christine, that really sucks....well at least the kids and you are fine and thats what counts. You know you can get it fixed just real bad timing and bad luck. I' m really sorry that happended but am gald your all ok...Odie

The Deuce · 10-12-2002, 11:05 AM

Christine-
It doesn't look to me like the skirt is cracked, but I could be wrong. If it is not, a good color sanding will take that right out. I'm serious, you should have seen how trashed my rocker was on the drivers side (previous owner was a short female) and you cannot tell at all.
Might just be an excuse to get a professional detail for your baby.

1969Mach1 · 10-12-2002, 12:54 PM

Christine!
Sorry to hear about topless....

I hope you get her all fixed up for the show, but if not hope she is fine and don't cost you to much. I know stuff like this makes you feel like crap cause you know you could of avoided it. Don't worry, it doesn't look to serious. You have to be abit more careful.

§am.

MustangKelly96 · 10-12-2002, 02:24 PM

I think I'd be crying also Christine.
But hopefully the damage isn't to extensive and it will be able to be repaired...QUICKLY.

Wishing you some Good Luck chicka,
you surely deserve a break.

Christine

Sorry to hear bout your car gal =( Things like this happen and it sucks.no other way to word it either.

In all honesty,from looking at the pictures,it wont cost you that much to get it repainted,the skirt itself,judging from the pictures that you have posted,it isn't cracked,so mainly your looking at alil sanding and repaint.

Take and goto a bodyshop ASAP and get estimates,you have full coverage right?

Topless In Texas · 10-12-2002, 10:08 PM

Hey guys.....(and gurls)........
Well, I took Caitlin to her Fall Festival today. Worked her class booth for an hour and a half, then took her to her dads so I could spend the rest of the day/night working on my car for the show tomorrow....

Its clean, looks nice, BUT my skirt looks just awful! Guess that will be something I'm gonna have to figure out when I'm gonna get it fixed...Its a pita cuz I'm sure it will not be an easy job. They were a BIATCH to put on in the first place.

Of corse the guy that originally put them on...will do the work. As a matter of fact, its right at about a year ago that we did it. But, I really need to get my new Top put on too. Also, my back tires look like SLICKS.....didnt realize what bad shape they are in and they are less than a year old too. I HAVE to at least replace the one rear/passenger tire on Monday morning....I'm leary of taking any 'roadtrips' w/ the one on there now. You can almost see the air thru the tire!

Well, my allergies are kicking my As$, I'm greasy, and I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to go to the show...Gonna hit the shower and contemplate bed.
Thanks ya'll for your encouragement...this is so damn depressing. I appreciate everyones support!
