Old Azn people and old school buick= doom, How ironic... Options

[hellsyphon]

Well today I let my sister use my car to take her driver's liscence test and when I came home just right now I was greeted to some interesting faces. I thought my sister had failed the test and I go out of my friends car to say its ok and theres next time, but it was something even more horrible. My sister said that on the last part of the test as she was making the left turn to go back to the dmv some old lady hit my car. I thought it was a joke at first, but when I went to see my car there was this gigantic indentation in the right rear quarter panal that I never remembered being there. Right now I'm angry as hell and at the same time horrified to see my baby looking like that. It really pisses me off why old people especially the person that hit my was in her 70's and rolled the stop sign. If it were up to me older people would never be able to drive!! I think they are more dangerous than teens because of their slow reflexes and HOW COULD SHE NOT SEE MY GODDAMN CAR IT WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF HER YOU HAVE TO BE BLIND %#*$#*)$#@)$(*@#()*@#)($#*. thanks for letting me vent. i took some pics and if you want to see some can someone host it?

o wow that sucks

[TRD6GC]

Wow, that sux man. So were the cops called or anything? Hopefully your not stuck with the damage and can have the old persons insurance pay for a new paint job. Good luck.

[95CelicaST]

what happened with the old asian people? did your sister get their insurance crap? what did they say to your sister after the accident?

[hellsyphon]

My sister took down all of that lady's information im talking to my insurance right now

[easternpiro1]

now thats one hellaciously horridly dispicable dent man...i hope everything goes well...

[Batman722]

EEK !!!!

[Akimbo]

ooooh that made me cringe

[Blakout16]

ouch thats one big ass dent... haha >_< old ppl suck.

[dstrbcelica]

ouch. that hurts just looking at it.

sdlkfhkjhdsf that's sad.

did your sister pass the test?

[hellsyphon]

unfortunately no :/ the instructor said she failed when he thought she lost control because i guess he doesnt know when you go over really bumpy pavement in the celica all the bumps are transmitted to the steering. tuesdays suck

[DamDirtyApes]

thats alot of dmg

[hellsyphon]

Tomorrow I'm taking my car to State Farm (my insurance) so they can estimate the cost of repairs. How bad is that damage? I don't see any way to replace that panal because its like part of the roof and body?

[easternpiro1]

that damage lookslike its going to be several thousand depending on where you go. some places will say "hey! we're having a rape you special! so thats gonna be 3500 bucks please!" maybe at the least 2000, hate to be a pessimist but its not gonna be cheap. $^$% damn old wrinkled people....ruin everything....

[hellsyphon]

2k?! oh good lord! i dont think that lady's insurance will remotely compensate for that much gah!!!!!

[d-roCk]

ouch man sorry that had to happen!! hope fully it can be repairs soon!

[dahoman9]

I dont know...I got that panel repaired for 375 bucks. but then again my dad is friends with the owner of the shop and my dent wasn't quite as bad. So just get an estimate or two and go from there.

yeah, I agree on old people...shouldn't drive.

[celicaboston1983]

damn how fast was that lady rolling thats a big dent. bigger then mines : )

[hellsyphon]

I have no idea but those old buicks are built like tanks

[pokemeintheeye]

Yup, its gonna be right around $3500. An old white guy hit mine in the exact same area. My brother worked at a collision center at that time and they gave me a qoute of about $3300. The quarterpanel is always expensive.

[DamDirtyApes]

hopefully it didnt mess up anything under the quarter panal, i would make sure you take off the plastic on the interior of your car and make sure your speakers and stuff are fine. That is proberly gonna cost alot of money.

[tin_foil]

Seriously, old people need to be made to take a driving test like every 6 months. Some of them are just SO ridiculous. I get so pissed when some old lady cuts me off. I always want to just lay on the horn, swerve around them or just flip them off. But I know they probably wouldn't notice anyway...

Either that or maybe they'd have a heart-attack and die.

[hellsyphon]

well its over state farm totaled my car. i still cant believe some simple body work would total a perfectly functioning car. 267,793 miles of pure fun.

*edit* i shoulda just taken my car to some really cheap place and got a half assed repair instead of taking it to a actually good body shop. would have had a cruddy job bu t i would still have my celi

honestly i have no idea at this point.

[darksecret]

It wasn't an old person, it was those damn street racers, lol. It's hard to pull a license from an old person seeing as how a great majority of decisions are made by old people, I mean if you were old are you going to say old people are the cause, no that'll include you as a problem also, so blame it on young peoples inexperience or on those dang nabbit street racers.

yeah it was those dam old street racers..

[blu94gt]

oh man you guys have no idea about horrible drivers until you live in my town.

Ok here's the situation: college town, the majority population of course is college students age 18-25, then like the second biggest population group is people like over 70. On top of that pretty much the highest speed limit in town is about 30 miles per hour, and the damn highway slows down to 50 outside of town (even though there's nothing near it, they just like slow limites here)

You all can just imagein the rest of the situation: slow old drivers, stupid college drivers, and more door dings and parking lot accidents than you will ever want to know about

[darksecret]

IDK Charlotte has like 10 colleges and Universities, not to mention one of the largest populations of people over 50, also one of the largest populations of non-english speaking illegal aliens (for a state this far north), a very large population of drunk drivers, and more learn at home truckers than any east coast city i've been to (and that's Orlando to Philidelphia), but yet those street racers cause all the problems here . As for the dent don't worry it'll buff out...just use some polishing compound, j/k you might have worse damage than you think, i'd pull the plastic panel off the inside to make sure it didn't damage the skeleton of the chassis, if it did your car is as good as totalled because it's a pain to get that fixed.
