my first accident

so i got hit this morning on the way to classes . wasnt my fault at all. i was in the right turn lane STOPPED and was about to turn right onto the street and then the girl next to me that was at the stop sign waiting to go straight through the intersection decided that instead of going straight, she would turn right when she was IN THE LANE to go straight. so i see her coming i stopped and i started to honk but she keeps going and goes right into me. at least it wasnt too bad.. estimate is 3200 about

Could be a good time to switch to some aftermarket fenders too, if they're your style. Luckily we have insurance for things like this.

Hey man sucks to hear about what happen.

I got into my first accident this morning too driving to class, I by accidentally rear-ended the HITCH of a truck in front of me. It punctured a small square into my front bumper, most likely fixable, not that much damage occurred because I was just slowly rolling waiting to merge.

Tell me what happens in your case, I was thinking of upgrading my front bumper too to the autobahn bumper. I don't want to pay $3,000 though, for a part that is just going to get beat up anyway on the highway.

yeah its not too bad and its just body damage, but still, its a hassle to deal with. now i'm running around in a mitsubishi galant.. it was either that or a PT cruiser. and what sucks even more is that i had just barely installed my clear corners the week before!!

wats better was when i was still in my 96 accord (lowered, nice strong rims) on a superbowl night, this girl and her bf like.. moved into my lame.. with me beside them and hit me. when i came to the stop light.. i like roll down my window and told her to pull over (i can tell she was drunk, red faced and not articulating) she said some things so i thought she was going to pull over. well, i followed her everywhere and saw her drop her bf off, then at another stop light (she has been driving like crazy... trying to lose me i think) i told her to pull to the side. well.. long story short i followed her and called 911, ******** told me not to follow her anymore and i gave them car plate number, car type, direction, race, hair color and they say they will contact me later.. well.. police didn't do **** and i shoulda followed her all the way to her place -.-...

luckily it seems since my car was lowered, and had a strong rim, she bounded off my rims and put 2 chip into it and no major damage done.. but i am still pissed, i am following anyone tat refuse to stop untill they run outa gas from now on.

Atleast she stopped and didnt' do a Hit & Run on you. Your not at fault so relish in the fact her insurance is going to be going up for her ignorance and impatience it seems. Was the car drivable at all or did it have to be towed to a local bodyshop. Well atleast with the Galant as a Rental you'll be getting better gas milage on plus side to all this

it was drivable, just body damage, but my fender was rubbing on my wheel so i just told them to get me a tow truck cause i knew i wouldnt have to pay for it. they towed it like 3 blocks over and it ended up costing her like 135 bucks for that but yeah thats the first thing i noticed with the galant.. awesome gas mileage.. well at least compared the the 8
