Thats what insurance is for bro.

 

Dude, did the hydrant geyser up and shoot water everywhere?

Bummer about your car. G/L with everything.

 

just go through your insurance. did water shoot up like in the movies? edit. red sox you beat me to it.

 

I have to be the first to chime in it sounds like way over $500 in damage. I will guess 2-4K in damage with labor added

 

5-10 MPH and the hydrant got knocked over? Either they don't secure hydrants for crap in Mass, or you were going well over 5-10 MPH.

Here in TN, hydrants don't budge when impacted with MUCH MORE FORCE... I learned that the hard way.

"red fluid" sounds like power steering to me.

 

I agree --- I was thinking between 3500 and 4500 bux. Take the 500 dollar hit and the rental.

 

It seems like at least once every couple of weeks I see on the news out here that somebody hit a hydrant and it causes that huge fountain of water. I can't imagine what LA would be like if it snowed here. At least you had the snow to blame. People out here just can't drive.

 

Sorry bro, definitely go through insurance, it will be well over $4,000.00 in my opinion... if not more. And think about it... You pay for insurance for a reason. Use it.

 

that suck.... be careful next time.... good luck

 

What kind of tires did you have on bro?

 

Ya i understand that its going to be way more than $500. When i say i was going maybe 5-10mph im completely serious. The car had no response to any of my steering input and it went strait over the curb into the hydrant. I dont understand how it toppled over but i guess it doesnt take much with 3000lbs. Water did not shoot up or anything, thank god that would have just made things that much better *cough *cough*.

 

same question, because if you had the stockers on thats a no no.

 

bad times good luck on fixing it... i would do the insurance thing also... but the hydrants dont gyser up like in the movies there is a break off valve that stops that from happening...

 

I have installed Michelin Pilot Sport something like that snow tires. I guess I should take advantage of this opportunity to fix up my front end with whatever i want. I have read of people replacing their rear bumper in an accident with a JDM one and such. Any ideas for me and how would i go about doing this?
