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~!!!! mad.gif 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.... frown.gif 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.

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. frown.gif

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.

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... frown.gif

i did a rear end accident into an f150

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
