it finally happened., guess it's my turn now... Options

[shin]

on feb 22, the day when my celica got disfigured....sigh..... this is how it happens... i was going 45 on a 50 highway.. i nvr speed unless there's no traffic and i'll definitely not speed when it's raining or snowing.. so there's quite alot of cars but traffic flow was going smoothly.. suddenly, a pretty old car cut right infront of me, he was so close to me and i horned him, and guess what, he slammed on his brakes and his car fully stopped. i jammed on my brakes car skidded cause there's slush on the highway and it hit him. there was no room for braking distance... airbags popped and my glasses flew off... i wore my glasses and pulled to the accident lane got off car and the car that i hit was gone??!?!?! that B**ch ran away~!!!! so... take a look at how much damage was caused... gotta spend $6000 to repair it... wel.. on the bright side, my car's gonna get the GT4 front end, a new paint job and a sports steering wheel... but it's really hurting me and my wallet.... here are the pics.

That sucks, it also looks totalled. You can buy a different 6gc for less than 6 and still do the front end conversion. Personally I'd re-think.

[shin]

i thought so too.. but i found out the engine's running fine.. only the radiator's busted.. and the support, reinforcement bar, headlights, hood, bumper.. car's able to start, run, alignment's straight.. and i have alot of feelings for this car... i've spent alot of time on it.... well.. i think what's expensive's the paint job, it cost $1800 for the whole car, $1200 for the bumper and hood front toyota world.. that's $3000 right there.

[DamDirtyApes]

so its her fault and ur stuck footing the bill. wont ur insurance pay for it?. seroiusly tho, junk the car. part it out and start over again. the car wont ever be the same. ur frame is proberly bent to hell

[pr_caralho]

He slammed the brakes eh? He probably did that on purpose cuz u pissed em off, it happened to me, wen this stupid construction van cut me off, i honked at em and he braked hard, luckily i changed lanes quickly enough not to hit him, and i sped off.

[Jdog1385]

damn shin i feel ya bro. i spent 4200 on my car last spring b/c of an accident. just couldnt part with it. hope you car is done by the summer so we can do some meets.

[shin]

my friend over at the body shop said that he would be able to get everything done in 2 weeks. including the wait for the hood and bumper, i think it'll take like 3 weeks for everything to get done. i really hope i'll be able to be at the meet too. i was lucky though.. the radiator was thick enough so it sort of blocked a good amount of impact and prevent the front from going all the way in... sigh... why do these people have to drive like that...

[macavely]

damn sorry to hear tht kid.. i know how it feel when the persone that cause the accedent just bounces... but at least ur still breathing

[shin]

yea.... thank god i always keep my seat belts on... but you guys know something, the airbags didn't help this time... it popped and hit me in a face, and the passanger side airbag popped and broke my windshield..... i was wondering, if the airbag didn't pop, would the windshield be still intact ???

[BBoYRuGGeD]

yah man sorry to hear that... best of lucks to u and yer celi

whack a$$ drivers on the road i tell yah!!!...whack a$$ drivers!!!

[playr158]

oh from that you did bend the frame
you had to of

i did a rear end accident into an f150

much less damage but same style to say

i got away with minimal unnoticable damage don't think frame

but what you have bent EVERYTHING in the front you screwed frame
you have to part that and then buy another celi less the 6k

sorry to hear dude now i feel lucky i still have mine and totaling 1020.00$ right now

[Manta5x]

[nObOdy]

[Ale_lock]

Sorry to hear bro, hope things work out for you & the celi.

[nObOdy]

Hey it looked way better than mine man - none =) and it doesnt have to be modded to look sweet to me =)

[shid]

sorry to hear your sweet ride got wrecked man. I'd cruise around that neihborhood and check out all the cars for damage. take it to the man,

You might get lucky with no frame damage, if you say it still drives and the alignment is fine. Have it looked at tho

[dstrbcelica]

that sucks balls man. i hope everything works out.

[vangSTa_celica]

I think your car is sweet.

Anyways, sorry to hear man. As long as your ok. Keep us informed and updated. I hope you don't have any frame damage. Take care.

[Hanyo]

at times like these.. i wish our cars are cadalacs.. i sure hope that m*therF.. got his car all messed up also.. ERRRR... but karma will catch up to them..

I dunno why i'm so angry.. i guess it cuz my car got total just because the airbags deployed, turning my $7000 car to a $2000 one..

[shin]

thanks guys. i'll keep you updated as i try to resurrect my car... thank you guys for the compliment. i'll try to make the car look better. just hope it runs as great as it was before the accident.

[DamDirtyApes]

u should pull off the hood and fender and take a picture of the frame and engine. im intersted to see what it looks like

[shin]

car's over at the body shop right now... i'll take some pics when i go there the next time? just ordered the GT4 front end from Jeff at Toyota World 5 mins ago.. he said the front end will be shipped from them in a week. so probably takes me 2 weeks to receive it..

[nObOdy]

What are you paying for that if you dont mind me asking??

[easternpiro1]

MAN!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!! got into an accident in greensboro NC some clown ran the light airbags popped! and if your passenger side airbag pops your front windshield WILL BREAK. if your car is paid for guys, sell the passenger airbag! in nc if your car is paid for you dont have to have one. my car got totaled 2 weeks ago and it was MINOR damage! bumper and fender. some clown hit me in the parking lot and when i got 2 my car it was screwed! Hang in there buddy! i dont want to part with mine either!! (DAMN NEW YORK TRAFFIC...Im from queens, so i know how it goes....)

By the way... where is the meet and when??

[shin]

nObOdy, ermm... paying for which? if you meant the GT4 front end, it'll be $1201.60 shipped. if you meant how much i'm paying for the repairs. it's $6000.
easternpiro1, most probably we'll have the meet this summer.. dunno when yet though.
