Something something about small hands...
Something something about contortionist body...

Book value is so little any body work will have it declare totaled. I agree it’s fixable.


Anything man made is fixable just at what price. A frame rail on a uni body is incredibly labor intensive and quite difficult to do right.

Satin, you're makin' me feel misty puttin' up that photo.

I try not to love a car, because they won't love you back.

Like those rims!
