Yeah i turned in the right most lane, the one you see to the right of the one i turned into is a dummy bus lane not a traffic lane. i just got back from the dealer today and im driving around a crappy kia optima bleh.

The body work guy said its gonna take till friday to get the door from atlanta and then another 8-10 days to attach it and repaint/blend the whole car. They are replacing the entire left front 1/4 panel and driver door. kinda works out since i was having troubles with the driver side speaker in the door .

Heres some more pics i took with my better cam last night showing how far in it is and how far my door DOESNT open lol. You should have seen me trying to pay a toll with a window that wont go down (i forgot and put my window down and it got stuck, i had to pull off to the side of the road and pull it up while pulling the button up). Oh, and you get a peek at my sexy mustang <3

Damn Man! I wuda ****ED that guy up. I'm sorry but like whoever else posted, I wuda killed the guy cuz of my bad temper. Prolly not the best thing to do, but jesus that sux, especially on a new car! i wudnt really care if im driving an old car, but AN 08!? Damn. iono Man. Dont go for settlements. Search around EVERYWHERE and get estimates EVERYWHERE. Get the HIGHEST estimate, send it to the guys insurance, get that money, then go to the CHEAPEST estimate, and have money left over.

correct me if I'm wrong but the left on green light yielding to cars going straight is correct. right turn can turn right all the time it is green. but when it turns yellow, the left turning vehicle would have the right of way than the car turning right at this point.

The right turn has the right of way unless the leftie has a "Safety Arrow"

maaco suck
they charged me $300 to fix my suspension

instead of telling the parts needed replacing they just stuck it on a frame machine and tried the bend the parts back into place.

i ended up having to file an insurance claim and had to replace the entire rear passenger suspension cos they made it worse


i have heard similar stories from friends since that incident. Go to a reliable local body shop

Maaco is good for cheap (both in price and quality) paint jobs. Not much more.

Correct, the left turn only has right of way IF they have the green "safety arrow."

Basically, they were rushing the light and couldnt control their car causing them to be unable to stay in their lane. Unfortunatly it doesnt have awesome suspension and handling like ours. Silly pontiacs fast turns are for lancers .
