Crashed my RalliArt today 8-(

I can't believe I did this. To make a long story short, blind corner, signal out, temp stop sign was sideways, CRUNCH!!!!

I hit the rear of a Dodge Stratus dead on at about 20mph. It folded my hood, pushed the radiator back into the header, lost all my coolent, bent front reinforcement bar, drivers side headlight broke, lip kit/bumper damaged, pushed drivers side fender back to where I can't open that door...

My carbon fiber eyelids actually survived the hit without a scratch?! RRM CAI is really jacked now (remember my other post about "L" bend breaking?) LOL.

I'm going to go to the dealer tomorrow to take picz and I'll post them later. Probably a 3-4 week fix!!! I'm going to see if they'll go for a carbon fiber hood since I need a new one now anyway!!! My rental car is a Mitsu Diamonte VR-X 210hp V6 with the auto sport shifter. Nice car, but it's no RalliArt!!!

I'm sooooo haten'!

agreed, your best bet is to go to the scene and photograph the elements that lead to your accident....sideways stop sign sounds like money in the bank.
