She doesn't need lights. She can drive in the day and i can drive at night. Either way she will have a dsm whether its this one or another one...plus why a 420A thats old news to her as well you saw how that car went.

Lol. Cuz 420A's are reliable. Didn't you guys fix that other one before you sold it?

Why is the lady YOU hit a bitch? It sucks that you totalled your car and all but ignoring you after you hit her car is a far better response than flipping out on you. If she tries to sue you for phsical injury or some isht like that she's a HUGE bitch. Otherwise (IMHO) she reacted better than a lot of us on TST probably would have.

im probably more hurt then she is.. she seemed to be fine, but now that im all calmed down and the adrenaline is pumping my neck is hurting and so is my back

Kevin S · 11-04-2009, 08:37 PM

Damn that sucks, Glad your okay. I think i saw you pull into the meet last night? What happened to the white one?

Subie_sleeper · 11-04-2009, 08:39 PM

Did she give any signs of acting hurt when cops / EMTs got there?
If so you might have to worry. I hope you feel better and can find a new car soon.

deffinitly ! and what makes it worse is there was a ever older lady behind me whhile im sitting then with my flashers on and my car pissing coolant beeping at me telling me to move

1_2befast · 11-04-2009, 11:27 PM

Glad you are OK. Looks like a little pulling and beating along with a 1gb conversion could fix that up pretty easily. Looks like most of the damage is above the "frame rail." That area of my car is all banged up from a front end collision before I got it.

blackvr4 · 11-05-2009, 01:36 AM

honestly bri just looking at the car, from the pics it doesnt look totalled. u might be mistaken the "frame" for the radiator support. which is most likely bent, if u buy leeches shell and take the bumper, fender, headlights, rad support, hood off, im pretty sure u can fix it.

Agreed. My car looked worse then that and my frame is bent as hell and I still pimp it. Lol.... Its probably totalled from an insurance company standpoint, but its probably still salvageable to drive

i mean it still runs and alll just idling reallyyyyyyyyy high lol .. and sh*ttttttttttttt id drive around with a bent frame i dont care hahahaha

but we are taking it all apart today so we will post pictures of the REAL damage later on today

SoStock92 · 11-05-2009, 11:32 AM

The thing about it is that you may be "OK" with the damage and accept it as a risk, but its a risk to others on the road too. Imagine something catastrophic happens like the frame horn cracks and you lose that sides front suspension and steering and you hit someone.

Thats why I think you should either junk the frame and try and find another roller or take it to a frame shop to get it repaired if possible, or make it a track car.

gtsiawd96 · 11-05-2009, 11:45 AM

Ughh. That stinks but $hit happens. Glad to hear your alright. Another DSM injured.

The lower frame rail doesn't look to bad, the upper support the fender rest on it probly pretty twisted though, you won't know until you pull it apart and look at it's guts. Its all depends if its fixed easily and if that shell is otherwise in good shape no rust and such. IT might be worth fixing rather than finding another shell and dealing with its problems. Its getting harder to find good 1g and 2g awd shells without rust damage or other problems.

Good luck, let us know what happens.

I would also be very upset if my AWD was involved in an accident. Especially now that it's close to were I want it to be. Any accident big or small would be terrible.

A couple times lately I've just been driving and than gotten paraniod out of nowhere and started to drive like I'm on eggshells. More so just not trusting the other drivers around me. lol.
