Default curse got me AGAIN!!!!!

So I was leaving my favorite aftermarket tuning shop (www.maximumtuning.net) getting some long awaited goodies installed and some jerk in a corolla drifted into my lane and clips me


Front fender is gone, prolly bumper as well, clear corner too (the least of my worries) and maybe the fender well splash guard.

I planned on getting the whole car repainted CWP after winter (along with new headlights I bought installed) but now is the perfect opportunity to make it happen sooner, with a lesser expense to me as his insurance company will pick up some of the tab



so to every cloud, there can be a rainbow, but you just need to find it!

the funny and ironic thing is, I was just thinking to myself the other day (Now if only someone would hit me and absorb some of the $3,000 paint job cost)

Go figure!

BUMMER & CONGRATS both at the same time!
is the car still driveable? i ASSume yes? if it's not all too bad then you might
want to wait until spring when we have the Expel group buy. you could get her
fixed, painted, wait a few weeks and then hit th GB with us.
...course if it's too much for the eyes then i guess ya' don't wanna wait.

either way, between new headlights, already new 01+ tails, and all new paint, my car will look brand new shortly!

*note to self*: " Do not buy used vehicles from New York"

J/K man, damn. Glad you're OK. I swear if I lived anywhere near NYC I probably wouldn't even keep a car.....not a nice one anyway. Rough driving conditions up there.
