 Don't drive it!  I drive an 8v and my 16v is under cover!  I just got
 into an accident today and it really doesn't matter to me =)  This lady
 was making a left turn accross my lane and this Isuzu was blocking her
 view so she moved forward a wee bit too much...screeeeeeeeech.....BAM!
 She had a Jeep Cherokee and I wrecked her bumper cover.  She ruined my
 front 1/4 panel, hood, and headlamp assembly.  About $150-200 worth of
 damage for parts and who knows how much for labor.  I have to get the
 police report tomorrow.  I'm glad I wasn't driving my 16v.  Of course
 then I could have gotten my WHOLE front end repaired!  Ah well.
