What have you done to your P5 today?

[HKPRO5]

there two types of power i can add to p5, supercharger as you just took off and turbo right, two whole different things, right?

Yup a Supercharger is belt driven, and the Turbo is spun by the exhaust gases.

I approve of flat black mufflers. I just used some high temp BBQ spray paint and it's held up really well.

I drove my loud, obnoxious P5 to a wedding today with my GF. I certainly got some weird looks... heh-heh

I love hearing car alarms around me go off. Not just the chirping ones but ones that go off...

Pics of the paint job i did.

put on winter tires since the truck is still out of commission.

What happened?

 

[CheeseHelmet]

Tightened my alternator belt, it squealed a couple times last week when it was cold and raining.

Winter's coming!

kablamo!

 

[justanothermp5]

ouch, what happened?

 

[reut1]

girlfriends brother doesn't know how to look behind him when he's backing his truck out of the driveway. second time its been hit in this driveway and third time over all its been backed into. i think the car is bad luck in that sense, maybe i should get rid of it next year before someone hits it again. had the car 2 years 3 months and its been hit 3 times.

a lot of his friends who come over have backed into other peoples cars in this driveway, because they all suck at driving

this was the first

 

[HKPRO5]

F- that. Know thing that, thy can park on the street. lol GTFO my driveway. lol

 

[azuelke]

kablamo!

That rear quarter doesn't look too promising...

 

[reut1]

what abouuuuuuut from this angle? you thinking that can't be repaired by being cut out or anything? might be going through insurance after all

 

[CheeseHelmet]

That's not going to be cheap or easy to fix...

I don't get how someone can be that retarded, how the hell don't you hear/feel that?!

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

They WILL right off a 2002-3 car for that level of work to be done..

 

[Sleezer1533]

Anything cam be fixed for the right price and amount of time, just comes down to what its worth to you b/c as Brian said the insurance company will most likely write that off.

 

[Lewis7789]

Super boo. That sucks, Kyle. Beeg time...

i realllllly don't want to have to get rid of my protege! but i feel like i did get a really good one. no troubles at all over the last ~48k miles and I feel like i won't get that lucky again if I try to replace it with another one. I have a friend who does body work so maybe it won't be so bad (relatively) with him doing it but yeah insurance will probably total it. If they do total it but we can fix it for less, how does that work if I want to keep the car. I would replace the p5 for a speed3 but i like not having a car payment right now

 

[goodfornothing]

Smash the other side of the car so it will look intentional.

Smash the other side of the car so it will look intentional.

Finally, some constructive advice!

Keep the p5, fix it. I am in the same boat, but without the damage. No car payments is awesome. do what you can to repair. The P5 is so reliable. Only owner, 8 years running strong with 108k miles
