Some 18 year old kid driving like an *** pulled right out in front of me turning left. The brembos almost got me stopped, but almost doesn't count . I did drop from 35ish to about 5ish in about 10 feet though. but I still hit him . I don't think the damage is that bad scratches and such, but he hit my license bracket which pulled my bumper down. Now there is a gap between the hood and the bumper and the bumper and the head light.

Good news is I don't think anything else was harmed but the bumper. Bad news is the bumper will have to be repainted. The only good that will come from this is that I had some rock chips that will get fixed in the process. The kid had insurance, which is good.

I got out of my car and was very pissed, I also had on a state trooper shirt. So I think he knew that any lies he was congering up would not fly. He started trying to tell me this and that,but I told him that is not how it works.

In the end all will be well but its just a pain, no worries though the sanomobile will drive again. With a freshly painted bumper and a new license bracket.

 

not good at all

 

got any pics?

 

He just gave you an excuse to put on a nice front end, like Gialla.

 

Yeah that sucks... I always think to my self if I ever get into a crash I hope it is not the front end... doesn't take much to cause a mess...

 

If I have to replace the bumper, which I doubt, I will think of an aftermarket alternative. I will say one thing though, that license bracket is on there hella good. good enough to about rip my bumper off.

 

Soon as we hit I was just hoping it did not break a headlight unit, or dent the hood, or tear up th IC. Front end damege on these cars could be a very bad thing, good thing mine was pretty light.

 

if only the bumper is damaged than it's all good but it would be really nasty if the frame was damaged

 

I was going about 5mph, and he the same maybe a little faster. It was a glancing blow, maybe I will take a pic. You all would laugh because its not that bad. But it happend to my baby, If I had crashed in my xb it would have been no big deal. this just felt like a kick in the nuts.

 

I had $10,300 in damage on my Evo that was nothing but front/side damage...no frame or suspension damage, all cosmetic. The parts are very pricey

 

I have worked accidents where people hit ditches and dukes of hazzard through the air and still don't bend the frame. My accident was purly cosmetic.

 

comments like that scare me

 

SANO -

glad your wreck wasn't worse!

btw, nice avatar

 

i know exactly how you feel. i got rear ended about a month ago, and i saw him coming. he hit me going about 35.. i have a black 04 ralliart.. so now, as a result, i have the accolade gt2 kit on my car, ha! good things will come, just be patient, and don't settle for a penny less than the best body shop in towns quote.

 

Sorry to hear.
