I was driving home down a back road about 2 months ago. Some guy was driving a mitsu galant, going very very slow, like 5mph on a 45 mph road. I started to slow down as I approached him and he suddenly slammed on his brakes. I swirved right to avoid him as I put the brake pedal to the floor. No dice. I hit him going like 15 mph. He had NO BLINKER/HAZARD LIGHTS ON, he said he was unsure of what house he was looking for......total BS His car has some white scuffs on the rear bumper and my car crumpled like a tin can. Its not driveable. Lucky for me, A friend of mine sold me his automatic dodge stealth for $300.....178K on it, rebuilt tranny.....runs good. He did me a solid favor by selling it to me that cheap. Here are some pics......

LUCKY for me, I Didnt have to pay for a tow. I used my truck/trailer

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS. LITERALLY!

Recent pic, off to the body shop for an estimate.

The stealth.

So long story short, a body shop said they can fix it for around 2400$, which is fine, because I want it back on the road. I had an automatic D16Z6 in it, boosted at 10PSI, blew it up, now they jdm gsr swap.........Im excited to have it back on the road soon...If anyone needs body parts go to www.certifit.com they are like 40 mins from monmouth county, but theyre chhhheap! I got a radiator support, hood, fender, and bumper cover brand new for 220$. Car should be done in 2 weeks or so........I wanna get out to a local meet or something.......sorry for the novel everyone.....but thats my story......my names Pete (if you couldnt figure it out), and I live in Howell.
