Well my wife has a Jeep already and won't need a third. Space is a bit limited in our driveway anyway. So it was totaled, got around $3,800 back after $500 deductible. Separately to that I got some money back for the two car seats that were installed during the crash. Didn't want to take any...

I'd keep it but it's too small for our use now (have two little ones) and not sure if it has to do with the warmer winter but an encounter with deer is too frequent. I clipped a deer just a month ago prior to totaling the car. I'll post the results so others can know how much to expect; at...

Thanks guys; the agent just called and is totaled. I'll know tomorrow as far as how much they'll offer. Will post up later for final outcome!

Picture for reference...

I hit a deer a week ago which hit the driver side headlight, hood then my windshield which is completely smashed. I'm lucky the deer (huge buck!) didn't come through. Just being impatient as I wait for the insurance company to determine if the damage is enough to total; the agent thinks so...

Funny, my p5 just hit 88K also and have been doing the same for awhile now. The mechanic thought it was something to do with the engine but didn't find any issue :)

I dropped off the car at the dealership today. The spark plug was indeed missing! Any chance that my engine may have been affected? I'm just wondering what the cost would be to get my car fixed at this point :(

Yes, the check engine did come on. So either way the chances of blown motor from what I described is low? No smokes, just weird rattling noise, no weird smells. I feel a bit relieved!

My P5 tonight did the unthinkable. It currently has about 67K, was due for timing belt which I was planning...but... While I was going about 50mph I heard what it sounded like something snapping then spinning really fast. I was able to drive about 1/4 mile and stop on the shoulder. Oh and...

I ended up getting the Hankook IceBear W300 in 205/50-16. Initially I was skeptical with the low price ($82 each) but after I started driving in heavy rain and slamming my brakes in the back roads I started to get a bit cocky. It's very sticky & wicks out water like no tomorrow. (first)...

Just spend the extra money & go with retrofit...those eBay or any aftermarket HID's are just crap. If one part goes out, you either have to get a brand new set/package or is pain in the neck to find replacements. I spend about $400 two years ago with my HID and it's running strong. The whole...

I know this thread is old but was searching around for winter tires/rims. I'll be moving to New Hampshire where snow is pretty common & was wondering if it's better to get the 15" steel radial package from Tire Rack or stick with my stock 16" & get snow tires installed? I have about two months...

I just may wait awhile then before I do my timing belt, it hit 60K few weeks ago but was contemplating but I'll probably change it around 80K to be on the safe side. I need to change my tires and fix the broken CV joint...

I recently changed out the spark plugs (Bosch 2-prong first time), did the oil change, coolant, etc & just hit 300 miles with 3/4 tank. I'm pretty happy considering it was mixture of highway & city driving this past week. 60,000 miles, I think this has been the best gas mileage. I need to...

Hmm I just installed the Bosch platinum +2 that don't need to be gapped. Seems to be running really smooth.

No matter how straight & even cut it is the ride will be horrible. I've seen too many cars that's not only slammed to the ground but wobbling side to side going 70 on a freeway (ughdance)

I need to replace my rotors...didn't know you're supposed to change them with the pads argh. Making all kinds of noise right now -_-

So can I install 205's on my stock 16"? Is it just the width? n/m the site had more info :) Thanks for all the help guys!

Oh wow that is cheap...how much did it cost you to get them mounted? I've never bought tires online. Also I noticed you bought the 205? Stock says 195...it'll be ok?

I accidentally replied on a thread I found: (for Mazda 5's whoops) http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123640645&page=2 I'm assuming my P-5 is stock 16" alloy wheels but also the noise + the cost of the tires are making me wonder if there are alternatives? I don't need high...
