Accidents are bitches.

I know... but in mine nothing had to be fixed up, just a bit of polish and good as new! That was a while ago, now...

But yeah, details?

Damn! That's shite! Sorry to hear about your ride man...

On the lighter side, you have $12.95 to fix it all up

that does suck...i just got my truck back last friday! i missed it but now it's better than ever..just be careful..because no more than 15 minutes after i picked it up i curb-checked it! (note: it is less than 3 inches off the ground!) and then when i was trying to get out of my driveway..i turned it a little too soon to get onto the road and i scraped the freshly painted metal piece under my front bumper on the curb by my mail box! so be careful how you drive after you get it..you don't want to mess it up again, believe me!)

I will be fixing it myself, it really shouldnt be too expensive at all, I'm just pissed because I got a ticket for illegal turn at the same time... I didnt do anything illegal tho, besides slip on the snow/ice and hit somebody...

fortunately I was only going about 5mph when I hit him... unfortunately it did decent damage for going so damn slow. His CRV wasnt damaged at all, except for his "favorite" bumper sticker...

James · Dec 9th, 2003, 11:05 AM

hehehe... same side, pretty much same damage...

LIUSPEED · Dec 9th, 2003, 11:06 AM

james ( dryboy ) if u need anything to replace let me know how i can help you out.

also i think it be a good time to get the crystal headlights and have them painted black for better beam pattern

That sucks... Was it your fault?

dry · Dec 9th, 2003, 11:15 AM

yup... traffic was moving on my lane at about 5 mph, I wanted to get into the left lane because I had a turn coming up, I looked over my shoulder for too long and traffic had stopped... when I looked back I was about 5 feet from him, and due to snow and my 17's I couldnt stop... I do blame myself for it tho, just a dumb ass move... luckily the guy I hit was really cool about it... I mean his car took no damage at all, I went Under his bumper (as you can see on my bumper the scratches).... the only thing that really sucks is christmas time is coming up and I still dont have a job... I have about 400 bucks to spend on xmas and fixing my car...

James · Dec 9th, 2003, 11:17 AM

dude that is creepy... I did the exact same thing but no snow (sun was in my eye!) hit a mexican dude with no insurance and no license even! AND OUR NAMES ARE BOTH JAMES!!! (Dramatic music)

I took my hammer and banged/pulled out all the area around the headlight, looks like you'll have to replace the bumper though and I don't know how you'll be able to mount the turn signal housing back on without some serious hammer time...
