Default well, it finally happened

i always thought SCs were accident prone, no matter how good/carefull driver you are. i've been driving for over 7years accident/ticket free, streets, mountains, interstate, roadtrips, touge adventures. then this happens.

i was headed 405north/22west right before seal beach blvd. cruising at moderate speed. then i notice this big black SUV out of the corner of my eye. suddenly it starts to get closer and closer to me at a faster rate. so i speed up because this type of situation scares me. next thing i know im hit in the rear driver side quarter panel then i start to spin out. ended up between the seal beach off ramp and freeway facing the opposite direction. hit and run didnt get the plate # or a better description of the other guy. it happended so fast.

Holy **** dude, Im glad you are ok. Hit and runs are terrible, its amazing how people can endanger others and just flee like that. I hope the sc is ok, judging from your sig it was/is a sick ride.

That sucks man. Try to keep in mind that you were not injured to feel a little better about it.

Have you had a chance to figure out what the damage is?

Aside from the quarterpanel of course.

There are lots of guys on here that can help with parts.

You going to sell the Supra seats? Anything else for sale?

I would ask you are ok, but since you are back posting online, I assume so

WOW ryanSc300lover, Waste no time in trying to get parts i see .

Glad to see your ok. Going off of the pictures you provided. It looks fixable. There is a shop next door to the one i work at In La Puente off of the 60 free way. They had fixed a car that was worse than yours a 06 MZB S class... Not even equipped with cali plates.. Still had dealers. And when that car came out.. It looked NEW. Give me a Pm and we can talk more if you like.

Everytime I try to be nice, people buy parts under me. It is a doggie dog world it seems. So wanted to put dibs on ANY parts he is selling, for top dollar.
