im always kinda off about insurance stuff cuz MI is a "no fault state" so your insurance covers you. if you dont have collision coverage and you get hit your out the money regardless if its your fault or not.

In NJ pretty much anytime you get rear ended it's the person who hit you's fault. Even if it was my fault I have comprehensive (collision, theft, etc) so I should be good either way. They were trying to hide coolers and beer after they hit me so that could lead to even more depending on if my insurance wants to sue etc. etc. I've never had to deal with anything like this so no clue on how that would work
Here is a picture of my first fc to keep this semi on topic lol, completely stock s5 na at this point just some kei office coilovers

True, they are BMW bi-xenon projectors and hella high beams... they don't fill up the holes too well (way too small, but they are super bright) and then the bumper doesn't fit too will on the car either... oh well... it's a track car, not a show car.
I actually bought this car as it sits (since it was cheaper and faster than converting my GXL to a track car this winter), I didn't do the work but I have started to sort the loose ends out and modify the car for my needs to get it ready to rock in 2012. It was originally built for "One Lap of America" but it was never entered.
Here's a short list from the previous owner:
- tri-point wide body
- CCW 17x10" wheels up front, 17x11" in rear. 285/335 width Michelin Pilot Sports
- RE Anemiya-like front bumper w/fixed headlights w/bi-xenon HID's
- huge aluminum radiator w/built in oil cooler
- aluminum driveshaft
- Custom Stop-Tech front calipers (ST40s) and discs, custom spindle mounts, all properly sized to work w/stock rear brakes, manual rear prop valve, 1" MC (vacuum assist intact), stainless lines
- RacePak digital street dash
- PLX wideband
- 4 point chromoly roll bar
- 15 gal fuel cell, high flow racing fuel pump (300gph), custom fuel lines; 36lb injectors, return-style fueling setup
- custom koni/ground control spring/shock setup
- delrin suspension bushings
- solid diff mount, reinforced diff subframe mount (add'l material welded in)
- roof (that had sunroof) cut and replaced w/roof from an RX7 GTU
- shaved side moldings
- British Racing Green paint
- percy's speedglass in front and rear
- custom fuse box setup (to handle all the additional electronics and bypass the old wiring)
- manual steering rack
- no A/C
- custom cold air intake
- battery relocated to behind pass. seat, in cubby (in battery box)
- fully rebuilt T2 diff, slightly thicker clutch packs for better lock-up, all new bearings, cryo'd.
- weighs 2650 w/quarter tank of gas

I was going to leave that little bit out for the sake of not turning this thread into a Rotary vs V8 flame war.

New here so go easy..I'm trying to fix it up little by little, but with no money coming in and lots going out, it's getting to be a bit difficult. Actually a really good picture, it's in a bit worse shape than you see here. You can see more pictures in my album (If i set it up right) if you'd like.
Anyways, i took this about 3/4's of the way up the Sandia Crest, here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a 1987 S4 FC...Base 2+2, N/A, etc. etc.
It's a pretty big picture so i threw it in the thumbnail below. Let me know what you think, and better yet, let me know if anyone else is from around here. I've been seeing **** loads more FC's lately driving around, compared to just a few months ago when i never saw any. I guess people are getting those last drives in before they store them (They were in FANTASTIC shape) but mine is a DD so i don't really have that luxury.
