Well I was on a basic road going home today traveling at about 45 behind a truck (the speed limit) and a 98 green v6 mustang pulls out after the truck turned and he did not see me. I hit him just as he was pulling into my lane at about 45 and instantly his whole front of his car was MESSED up with his radiator in my face and smoke going everywhere pretty much... In the pics you can see the green fluid and actually his tire on the side... the officer said it was about 4k in damage, but im going to go check around for estimates at body shops... For some reason, the car still drives well and does not shake or anything, but im no pro... Also I'm pretty shook up, but im alright, air-bags did not go off and my friend who was in the car is just fine as well... The mustang owner who was a kid like myself (18) got a ticket for failure to give the right away and his insurance will pay for it all... so i guess im not in too bad of shape... anyway, post comments/adivce whatever, id appreciate it.

[right][snapback]311315[/snapback][/right] yea it might be just called his insurance and they are having a person come out and look at the damage probably in the next couple days... I'm hopeing the celica will get fixed and they dont junk it... but who knows

that looks just like the accident i had when an suv hit my car at slow speeds. i used that as a good reason to upgrede to the gt4 hood and bumper since paint and stuff was going to be paid by insurance anyway.... something to consider!

Forget all these ideas to make your car prettier. Cut around the gash and you'll have a perfect place for the intercooler for your new turbo!

That sucks. At least no one was hurt, and your airbags didn't deploy. Maybe you could go for some projectors now.

This is all depending on what the claims officer or whatever we will call him wants to do with my car |

You're lucky, you'll get what it costs to repair/replace.
If its aftermarket, you take it in the butt from insurance... Don't expect to get a lot back either.. -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

[right][snapback]311358[/snapback][/right] The only thing im worried about replacing would be the driver's side wheel... its probably slightly bent, not to mention scrapes from where the car was basically into me, so we will see how it all gets handled... hopefully it will go smoothly |

ok yea, i dont know if it was that stang dudes error, if it was at night, if he was drunk or whatever but it is SO gay when cops give the guy who caused it a ticket, that is just f'ed up. no only does he have to pay for his car to get fixed, he has to get yours fixed, his insurance will go up, and he has to nurse a ucking ticket. they should ask him if he wants to pay or if hed rather take a lashing, the lashing would cost less. im sorry to hear about your car tho.

kinda off topic but I like those rims on that color of a car, except you need a center peice so the lug nuts dont show.

[right][snapback]313160[/snapback][/right] thanks... many celicas have these rims and im pretty sure on all of them the lug nuts show... doesnt bother me too much... on another note, the damage is about 3k and parts get here in about a week... the shop said itd take about a week or so to fix |
