Ro11dice is Asian himself
but he has been Americanized since the shoes are inside instead of outside. OK, back to topic about your friend. If it was an accident, it's understandable. If this "friend" was envy, he might have had some intentions. If so, that would make him a "fiend." In any case, a wrecked car is never the same as the original baby.
I have not found any repair shop/man that is more meticulious than me. They don't drive the car everyday, so how will they know? I'd have to sell her . . . but that's just my opinion. Merry Christmas.

You need some new friends. Hit up the Porsche and Ferrari forums sir!

Can somebody recommend a good Ferrari forum? I'm not trying to find new friend, but "unfortunately" seriously interested in the F430

Being Americanized, does this explain why I no longer drive an Acura and now a BMW? Or have I been Germanized?
Yeah, my friend is still my friend. I assure you there was no malicious thoughts in this. It was an accident.
I've been thinking along the same lines that a wrecked car is never the same as the original but I don't think that my e60 has been "wrecked". There has been no frame damage or body damage. The damages were mainly to the front end tie rods and control arms. Much of which can be repaired. We'll see, I guess.
Total estimate is $8k USD w/o counting the body work (front bumper) and two wheels and tires.

Should have read this thread earlier; actually I did but ignored it. This evening I let my brother in law drive my 550i which is still in the breaking period. Well, he got a little carried away and it hit 6000 rpm. I'm not really that concerned as I have been pretty good and have over 800 miles on the car now. My brother in law drives an older 540 and I don't think he was trying to rev the engine. I had it in sport mode and it just happens so fast.
