Something I've noticed
 
A lot of SC guys have front end damage. Okay not that exciting but I've noticed that its usually on the driver side as if when we saw that other car right in front of us we though "if my car (Sophia) is going to die, I wanna go too". if you have front end damage let me know your story

Someone backed into my front passenger side in a Home Depot parking lot & did approx $1700 worth of damage. It has since been corrected, with the exception of a slight nick on the corner of the hood.

I woman tried to make a left turn in front of me last year and we crashed almost head on. Her car was totaled and my front end was pressed in about a half inch. I was very sad but kind of pround still. I ended up using the money to pay bills, like an idiot and now my front end doesn't line up :(

i used to have a 95 sc400 and someone in the far left lane swirved all the way to the right to catch his exit, he clipped my front and then i panicked and instead of braking, i turned right (into the barrier) and spun causing major front end and side damage. the insurance company totalled the car and i was able to get my 97 plus extra cash hehe, i guess it is well deserved though after the huge headache she caused me

My passenger fender started to peel paint and progressively showed signs of rust. I got a new fender from aliga and shes back to being new! My car's name is "my car".

a couple weeks after i get my SC, i was driving back to school to get something and ended up spinning out. front bumper damaged, hood had little bends at the corner, driver side quarter panel was destroyed, driver door pushed in a bit, and all my rims were damaged. total cost for repairs: about 5k. all that from a left turn. it's too complicated to explain.

my front bumper is starting to look like a midget scrapes it with sandpaper everytime i get out...feel so sorry for my baby to have a f****d up grill like that.

Maybe because the front end of the car is long, and people misjudge how much room they have in front of them.

At some point, the previous owner 'Ms. Lee' rear ended someone. New front bumper and repainted quarter panels. Must have ben strictly cosmetic, because there is no signs of any rebuilding or structural parts exchanged. My only issue is that the fitment of the right fender is a bit off.

Young chick in a RAV4 wasn't paying attention as I was merging into her lane (to make a left turn) and she's chucked it in reverse... http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3302/crash008pq9.jpg
