i rearended someone today i was on the way to the DMV to get my liscene renued when the traffic in front of me just came to a complete stop. even with the 235's up front, i just couldn't get it stopped in time. the van that i hit was ok, but it left a fist sized hole right underneath the driver's side headlight, from where the hitch punched through. it was completely my fault and i know that. it still sucks though, and i just repainted the front clip. now i have to get a completely new bumper cover and ground effects.

 

that sucks man......take some pictures so we can see how bad it is.....

 

Look at it this way. At least your still here to tell us about it. Plus its only superficial damage. No damage to the frame is a good thing.

 

It's not the end of the world because it is fixable, even though it sucks that it happened. The worst thing that could happen to a thirdgen is 3 fold:



1. It disntegrates from years of rust, salt, moisture, and humidity
2. It is completely totaled beyond recognition
3. It blows up in flames.

 

That sucks big time. At least its nothing to serious, and its fixable. But some guys like us REALLY love our cars. Even one scratch on my car can ruin my day

In fact at the end of summer i came within about 1 foot of someone smashing the side of my car, thank *** he stopped it time. Id like to tell the whole story, maybe i'll make a new topic called "close calls" or something.

 

i'll try to get some pics soon, don't have a digital camera so it may be a little while before i get the pics developed. does anyone know of a good aftermarket fiberglass front clip? or would i better of with a new oem part?

 

nova you live on warner robins AF base?! you remember a Red Iroc Z that was there that had faded paint on the roof/spoiler/hood? Parked next to a green minivan, and a blue older vette?

 

i don't recommend a fiberglass nose..... if you run in to something, the fiberglass won't hold up as well as a regular urethane nose would.

 

i know how warner robins trafic is, these people drive like crap, i hate that drive down watson on any day. sorry to hear about your car ssean92

 

sorry to hear about your accident!

 

That stinks man, hope you get your car back together! I got rearended last june in my Z28.....it's totaled...and I have a permanent back injury now...so.....I'm waiting for the insurance company to pay me ALOT of money......but...it's now fun at all man...

 

That sucks, but at least its fixable.

 

You think nobody can drive worth a crap in Warner Robins.....you should come down to Albany, we've got some friggin' idiots down here.
Warner Robins just has too many people for the roads they have.

 

no, i think the worse is here down at the jersey shore......i have all the "benny's" that come down here in the summer......they dont know how to drive......they are the worst on the circles here....anyone who lives around me knows what im talkin about
