Happened today at 17:30 on my way home from work heading east on Yellowhead Trail, just before the St. Albert Trail exit.
Going to North Side Mitsu tomorrow to bring it in and get a rental.
Havent talked to the adjuster yet, but they should call me within 24 hours.

 

dang... at least you're okay... what happened? suddenly slam your brakes?

 

had to brake for a traffic jam... checked my review to see if the car behind sees me slowing, and she did... but the car behind her didnt.

 

5 mph bumpers FTW. Everything other than your bumper looks straight, should be an easy fix.

 

probably more than the bumper. for my accident it didnt look bad at all but it turns out that the bumper and everything behind it had to be replaced. was like 3g's to get everything fixed as well as the tailights cause the grommets broke. thank goodness for insurance

 

far as i can tell:

-bumper
-trunk hinges are screwed. looks like a rivet or two popped
-muffler.... not sure.. but have a feeling. sounds fine though.
-left tail light is lose. mount must of went.
-the space that holds the spare tire, the rear most part of the body is squished in slightely and is now propably holding the spare in place (it's definitely pushing on it)
-the alignment seems off. I really hope im just imagining it, cause I dont want a control arm to be bent)

that's about it i think.

 

but thanks for the encouraging words, otter hah...

 

well think of it this way. its not your fault so insurance should cover the whole thing and you'll get a shiny new bumper just in case you had alot of scratches back there =]

but on the other hand you'll be out of your beloved RA for a while

 

yea i did... lol

 

Scheiße! I'm glad you are okay. I hope your chassis is alright too, but bent spare tire well... hopefully its no big deal and all can be fixed. keep me updated on what happens

 

At least you're ok man. It sucks for the car, but at least it's not totaled !

 

Some update;
The guy that caused the crash yesterday was charged with careless driving.

 

man... this morning coming back from a meeting on ellerslie road I saw some older lady in a pontiac montana reading a book or something while driving.... right behind me....
and every time the lighg changed.. she would still be in the same spot after i cleared the intersection already and someone would honk at her... EVERY LIGHT...

 

now the car is throwing a CEL...
i wonder if it was just the fuel cap that wasnt on right, but i'll find out once its at the dealership. otherwise running good though.

 

i have a code reader if you want me to pull the code for you. let me know.
