$55 shipped and you have a deal. if you have the paint laying around send it but don't go out and get anything new. i'll just deal with it then.

Another update.

Yesterday (Monday) Arnaud's insurance company got a statement from him as well as me. They came over my house right after they talked to him. Well i gave them my statement which is identical to waht i told the cops. The insurance guy said most likely the whole blame wont be put on Arnaud. The reason for them getting my statement was so they could protect Arnaud and not have all blame put on him. THe only prob is he is at fault. Even though the truck was speeding.. he was going straight and he had thr right of way. Arnaud was turning so basically it just means he cut the truck off. We shall see what happens.

We had a mini meet today in Hillsborough NJ. The meeting spot was in teh High School parking lot. We had 16 total cars. It was a pretty goood meet till it rained. During that time, a few of us decided to go stop at teh Wendys for some food. MilfsMaxima, Thebigsadler, me, and MaximaRider decided to go. As we left, we were making a left on to a main road (RT206). Milf, Sadler, and me already went through the light. As MaximaRider (Arnauo) proceeded through the light (Yes it was still green, he was right behind me at the light), so he was making the left while a blue Checyh truck was speeding to catch the light T-boned Arnauo on teh passenger side. I saw this from my side mirror and rear view mirror. I heard a loud crash noise and saw Arnauo's car lift up and spinning in 360's. Yes tha tis a few. He ended up on teh corner of a block. I pulled over and ran to the scene as did other people who saw the accident. I called 911 on my cell phone for help. Arnauo ran out of his car screaming. As i walked over, i saw his friends just laying there. I will not get graphic but lets just say Nightmare on Elm St times 5. Ironically enough the driver of the blue truck who hit Anrauo was a firefighter. Less then 2 mins the cops and firefighters arrived. The ambulence was ther eno less then a minute after. I was next to Arnauo on teh sidewalk and the firefighters had to use 2.. yes 2 Jaws of Life to get his 2 friends out. THey rushed those 2 to the hospital as well at Arnauo. As this time i gave the cop my info and what i saw. The car is totaled. The who passenger side looked like someone slammed that side into a wall over 100 times. They all had their seatbelts on which is what saved them . Both fron airbags deployed. Please do give us a second to pray that everyone is ok that was in that car. Right now i am on the phone with the detective ironically enough. The rest of the meet was fun. SOme ricer came over and wanted to race but no go. hehe. I will let everyone fill in from here.

my

friend who just got the stitches doesn't even remember the accident and the doctor said its very possible that he never will, my friend who is out of the coma can't really respond, breathing tube and all, and at the moment he can't just get up and tell me if he remembers, i dunno maybe, maybe not i will find out soon enough, he is still in bad shape but is turning some what of a corner.

As for car news, the insurance is giving me 8k for the maxima and letting me keep all my performance mods, the junkyard is in Sayerville(i think i spelled it right?) next to hunka bunka that place everyone hears about on z100, i am goin on monday to try to retrieve my exhaust/ypipe/rims, can anybody assist me?, i went on friday but all i could get where my momo/polk components up front then it started raining like a bi t ch.
