Didn't See THAT Coming..Updates
UPDATED PICS ON PAGES: 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 17 (<-- finished car!)
Last Friday, February 12 (well, 15 minutes into Saturday morning), I was sitting at a red light waiting to turn left onto a main road, when out of nowhere came a white VW bug. It attempted a right turn onto the street I was turning out of, and the driver was so drunk that she kept driving straight over the median and smashed into my car. This took me by complete surprise, and I had absolutely no time to react to the on coming vehicle. Luckily there were no serious injuries, and I get to have my car taken care of by Pascal, yes! Moral of the story is: a) You can never be too careful, even at a red light. b) Don't drive drunk (see below) http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...0213000028.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...9/IMG_0280.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...9/IMG_0282.jpg In the picture below, I drew up what happened based on the aerial view of the intersection I found on google maps. Mind you this took place at night, so the traffic in the picture has nothing to do with my actual scenario. She is represented by the yellow arrows (the green being the intended path, the yellow being her actual path). I (represented by red arrow) was stopped that the light waiting to turn left. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...at122915AM.png |
sorry to hear that man, how come the other side is smashed as well? did he force you into something?
|
OUCH. Sorry for your luck, man. Where abouts did this happen?
Hopefully no one else needs any work done from Pascal, he's probably booked now :D |
that bug must be really messed up if it did that much damage to you, glad to hear nobody was hurt though

Nope, the sheer impact of the crash caused that bend on the passenger side.

Actually, the trunk lid pushed the end of the right quarter panel too far out so it buckled in the middle.
I didn't know where to put this downer of a thread so I plopped it down in 6banger town. Looking forward to the updates though :) |
