Oh, man, sorry to hear about that. Good thing that everyone's ok though. Best wishes for getting your Vibe repaired quickly!

LOL @ paint color explanation. I've been up to Penn State a few times before. Had my pic taken with the big Nittany Lion. I had an ice hockey tournament there every year in high school on the first weekend in March. I had my one and only hat trick there in the Ice Pavillion. Strange place to play, but the ice was great! And I loved the creamery.

Damn thats sad man. But $5500 sounds about right for that kind of repair. But another few weeks for a wire harness and alternator? Where are those parts coming from? Positive side of things... you get fresh paint on that hood that some have been complaining of chipping. Perhaps the new paint will be on there better then the old.
