You going to part it out? What about the rear wheels and tires? Anything performance wise such as intake, plug wires, ignition coil blah blah blah. Well it's good that you're alright, that was a beautiful notch!

That's why I don't have a floor mat on the driver's side, especially with the clutch. It always rides up and gets in the way.

SUE the tree...
In this day of age, it would not surprise me in the least if someones tried it before. "I'm gonna sue you because you had a tree in your yard and I hit it when I swerved 50feet off the road"

or... Insert Dane Cooke joke,

"Why did you stop at a red light and let me hit you doing 80!!!!!!!" lol

sadly both of them aren't so far off from real life...

Yeah I took mine out too - because I thought it might get up under the gas and prevent it from opening all the way- not this problem.
