Got the vette back after two months..

Not sure if anyone remembers my thread 2 months ago, but I got backed into in a parking lot. My 2001 z06 was still drivable, but looked too horrible for me to actually want to drive it. Well, after waiting exactly two months, I got my car back today.

On the way home I got two thumbs up

and then two different compliments at a gas station, one coming from an orange c6 owner.

Kind of a pointless thread, but as you can tell, I'm really excited to have my car back.

Edit: A few people asked for pictures so here you go. :]

Taken just from my Iphone:

I know how you feel, my 04 coupe has been in the paint shop now for three weeks getting ghost flames and a rear spoiler. It's driving me crazy.

I had my whole rear end crunched down after I got rear-ended by a driver going 45MPH on my old Mustang GT and that only took 2 weeks for repair.

I would have never put up with 2 months.
