got an estimate on my car today from the accident

looking at the pictures it seems like the only thing really wrong is that the bumper needs to be lifted up a bit.

looking at the pictures it seems like the only thing really wrong is that the bumper needs to be lifted up a bit.

can't see the bulges in the quarter panels in the pics. all the bumper mounts are toast too. the 2 that connect to the frame are bent to hell. bumper is sitting on my tail pipe and some plastic has started to melt onto the tail pipe. they're worried about the rear part of the frame being bent.

i would estimate i was hit at 25-35mph. speed limit on the street was 25 but it was a teenager driving.

they're not seeing any trunk damage and i didn't see any myself. i havn't crawled under the car though, too damn cold out.

the guy says "do you want an alignment check too?" well fuck yeah! hell, if they're thinking the frame might've been compromised, you bet your ass i want the rear alignment checked. feels fine going down the road, but your alignment can feel ok yet you are wearing tires funny. it's happened to me before.

This does suck but you and your son are ok. That's all that matters. Cars can be fixed or replaced. People can't.

yeah, we were unscathed and so were the kids that hit us. always a good thing.

only thing that really sucks is i was planning a full stereo install over the next 2 weeks. now i've got to get it started a lot faster and hope that i can get all the wood cut right without the car here. doing a full trunk floor with 2 subs, 3 amps, 12 disc changer, active crossover, and distribution block. have components to put in the doors, tweeters to mount and aim, a headunit to install, and all wiring to run.

and it's cold as fuck here and i have no garage. ugh.

hopefully the guys at the shop find me a chrome S that matches the EX on my bumper. i asked them if they could and the guy laughed. he said he'd see what he could come up with.

how are you enjoying winter break from the 5th grade deteras? are you having fun with the toys Santa left you?

refresh my memory please. is this the second or the third time you're in 5th grade? the years just seem to blend together so i can't remember anymore.

don't worry though deteras, some day you'll hit puberty and might grow up to be a real man. really, you just might grow up some day. then you can look back upon these days and say to yourself, "damn, i really did take the internet too seriously. they really did hurt my feelings. i thought they were all my real friends too."

seriously, it is possible that you might grow up one of these days and realize that you have spent most of your life being a crybaby. until then, keep rocking the monster truck lunchbox in elementary school.
