yea...my 2 week old 89 camaro iroc z 5.7 tpi fully loaded 3.27rear limited slip, power seats, power mirros, power door locks, ac, t-tops, leather interor,

so heres the story on valentines day i just got done having 5hrs of awesome action dropping the girl off and on 99north someone decides to stop for no reason suddenly so i see it comming and slam on the brakes early...had enough following distance but only had one hand on the wheel well i get down to about 15 and steer slightly into the emergency lane but than my hand slipped and pulled it stright to the concrete divider...at 15mph... i almost cried i was so upset...that was after every curse word came out of my mouth didnt even stop didnt want to bother looking drove it home and well good news....only took out the bumper cover and lover valence (airdam) and drivers fender...none of the brackets or reinforcments were taken out or dammaged i hit it at the perfect angle. and no suspension or steering dammage just alignment.. well i am a dip **** and gonna figure otu what im gonna do go through insurance, take advantage of the exact same model and color sittin at local salvage just took off a part the other day from it. buy parts online have it done professionally, or go through insruance ill get pics and details tommorrow or today hehe

 

I'd say go back to the junk yard and get what you need. Hopefully the colors match close enough, what color is the car anyway?

 

well at least you were going slo enough so you that you didnt hurt yourself or the unibody(or was it?). hopefully you get it fixed soon. good luck

 

all that sex affected your brain hope you get it back to normal,good luck, and drive a junk car next time your woman
sexes up your brain

 

or you could take a taxi

 

don't go through insurance

or you'll be paying out of your ******* for the rest of your life

 

i feel your pain, i di the same thing at around 15mph, hit my tire on the curb, almost positive the frame is bent. good luck with yours man...

 

damn man, i hope you can get it fixed

 

ah man you wrected your baby

But, your gonna fix it at least which is good and at least it wasnt serious damage were you had to part out the car

 

That sucks. Good luck fixing it...

 

sorry dude, that sucks!

 

ok got an update im definitly gonna not go through insurance gonna want to toatal it, and gotta do the work my self...as they want 3 or 4 grand average...its stupid they want to remove and paint all these parts that are perfectly fine. just the head light bracket drivers side, driver side fender, lower valence, and bumper cover....thats all...its gonna be cheaper to buy these parts and have the whole car painted anyone know where i can host pics? ill take them when i get up at 9am tommorrow and put them up..

 

you can upload at imagestation but there pics look kinda $hitty.....but its free hosting.

 

 

:cringes:

 

 

any person that hits a thirdgen should be punched in the eye. twice.

 

well. even though no one hit you...its a great source for venting. try it sometime:lala:

 

Those pics look bad, but not as bad as I was originally picturing. That looks like you need a new nose, fender, and front GFX, overall not TOO bad.

 

So did i, last year, a lot worse then that also, new fenders hood adn nose of my old 91 RS all nested in place now on the 87 IROC, thats nothing bad, as long as you didnt bend the bumper support like i did, i had that thing on the frame machine at work for a whole day, amde it nice and straight, but once you rip it appart, youll know...

 

i went to pick n pull today to see if the red z28 was still there i saw 1 week ago...well the fenders and bumper cover and valence are gone all that i need.....but i ended up practicing taking off the bumper cover lower valence and fender....only got 80% done its hard work got the drivers side fender and bumper cover to come loose but couldnt figure out how to get it off...that was after 5hrs of working on that car...anyway any write ups...the whole car is going to get a fresh coat of paint once i am done just need some tips and maybe a write up on how to remove it....or maybe someone can volunteer to help me

 

ill help!

edit - im on the other side of the country

 

Geez, if you were to get a stratch they would say, Lets total it.

 

I doubt your unibody is bent it might have flexed hard check your roof behind your drip rails to see if theres any cracks. A lady came over on me and i slammed on the brakes and slid into a storm drain (it came about 3 inches out from the curband was about 7 inches high) the front end popped up in the air and i landed sideways in a 3 lane road. All it did was **** up my alignment i was doing about 25 when i hit it. I hate ****ing cell phones! She didnt even stop! and police couldnt do anything since there was no contact.

 

someone is going to loan me every thing i need to do to paint a car... all compressers, hoses, sanders, buffers, guns.. canisters...just gotta buy some painting books n order my parts gotta do everything my self oh well my fault anyway this has to be the stupidest crash ever.

 

I feel your pain....almost exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. Some asswipe tried changing lanes into my rear rear quarter and spun me into a divider at 30mph. F'ed up the front dr fender and bumper, headlight, bumpersupport, etc. AND tweaked the whole rear end. bent the torque arm, both lower control arms, dr. rear axle is f'ed, as is the brake, and who knows what else.

 

Yeah i think i beat you on the dumb scale man. I was doin somewhere around 85-90 mph ina 25 (brand new contruction zone no houses ne where no people just nice road) in my 89 irocz 350 tpi ive done a lot of work over the last 2 years on that car and its my high school sweetheart. Hit a lightpole backwords ... i had just done new brakes custom sheetmetal ram air (draws form behind fog lamps) msd 6al wires plugs etc. and edelbrock headers.... unibodys way tweaked... ive got pics coming soon..... way bummed ... but im looking for a new one if ne of u have ne info on straight body camaros in cali lemme know... !

 

back from da dead might as well update

ok well my abailites are alot better now haha...its been sitting since may for engine work and heheheheh t-56 swap oh well i went with best of everything centerforce dual friction clutch n **** like that....

anyway about 2 weeks ago i happen to be at a junk yard for something else and i spotted a perfect nose (bumper cover) in bright red like i need so i just took the front end and fender and ima bout to pop that on...i took the whole bumper fender and **** off if 1hr ....she will do until i can buy brand new pieces and get a good paint job...as ive been focused on the t-56 swap that has cost total of 4,000

 

i also feel your pain man... i hit a deer at 95 mph

pushed the drivers side head light pocket back to the AC pump, smashed the radiater, hood, air box, radiater cover, drivers side fender... here are a coupel pics of it.. i have already pulled the radiater support back out so it doesnt look to bad

 

more

 

scrathes in my t top ware the deer flew over the drivers side.. i also have a **** load of scrathes in my windshield and the back side of the car... i thank the greater power out there every time i look at my car that i didnt have the deer in my lap at 95MPH

 

wow thats scary.....a deer at 95....good thing you werent a dumb *** and didnt slam on the brakes....i say **** the animal id rather hit it straight on and have a better chance of not crashing....now if it was a full grown buck i dont know what the **** id do those **** heads are like couple hundred pounds......

 

i def slammed on the breaks lol i have like 200 foot long black marks to proov it and yes i kept going in a straight line i didnt try to swerv becaus ei was going so fast i thought i would have prolly lost control and totaled the car if i did swerv.... id rather replace what i have to then have to junk the car.

 

wow than hands up if you did i dont know how the hell you can keep a car straight at 95 slamming on the brakes...its impossible..

 

Properly adjusted brakes is my guess. I hope you all post pics when your cars are back on the road.

 

i slammed my brakes on doing about 80mph, some mustang cut me off. i went straight as an arrow when i did it.

now in my parents car i got did the same thing and ended up sideways

 

i agree and am very surprised it kept going in a straight line also being it isnt anti lock and all i guess i was realy lucky that night and the damage i have now is minimal to what realy could have happend.... both sides of the road were littered with huge trees that would have done some damage if i did spin out... i just still cant beleive how close i came to having a deer in my lap at 95... i have alwase herd about it happening and actualy killing the driver and stuff but never thought it might happen to me...

a while back (2 years) a cusin of mine she was 16 and she was ridng in a mini van with her parents... well they hit a deer and it went through the windshirld and killed her in the back seat....

it sickens me big time every time i see my car and those scrathes on it in the windshield..... thats one thing i like about hunting season it weeds those bastered deer off...friggen deer

sorry for venting guys my family and deer dont mix and this was just kind of a big *** reality check for me having it happen to my cusin and almost happen to me

but on a side note i am slowely fixer the camaro up... ive bought a radiater for it now im on the look out for the rest of the parts i need to fix her up for the long drive to texas this february.

oh yeah and when i get around to it ill take soem pics of the 200 foot long skid marks for you guys to see... i still remember i got a ride that night back to my friends ware i was staying that night and he was more pist then i was because i was still in shock that my car was trashed and he realy liked my car and wanted it in the worst way and he was like you prolly didnt even try to stop all mad acting and for the rest of the night i was thinkign to my self there better be soem skid marks there to proov that i tried to stop... because i was still in such a state of shock that i couldnt remember how it happend and wat i did but the next day i seen them and every day i travel that raod wich is like every day i see them and they make me a bit P1ssed off every time i see them.

on the look out for:

hood (anything but a base model hood)
nose(mines cracked)
headlight bezil ( with lights and mounting hardware)
fender (drivers side)
air box (tpi )
radiater shroud

 

i can get you those for pretty cheap and in good condition...any specific color....sacramento has alot of salvage yards..i can get you the headlight...fender, and nose for $93 for sure the rest im unsure about airbox probably 10, srhoud 20.....
