Prepare for a big bill.

Someone on here said they got a windshield for like $800 or something, so that sucks.

I had a similar accident near the beginning of the winter. I took a corner a little too fast, the car started fishtailing in the gravelly-slush crap, and as I was counter-steering to correct, the traction control bit and I ended up going through a little snowbank/wind-row thing the graders left behind and scraping a guardrail.

I didn't have any serious damage either, but I scraped the corner of the front bumper a little, a tiny little scrape near the bottom of the front corner panel, scraped the lip of my rim, and needed a wheel alignment.

Got the bumper repainted, spot-touch up on the front quarter panel (the body shop did it, I don't mean I used one of those touch-up pen things) new bullitt rim, and wheel alignment, total bill was about $1600 for what seemed like very little damage. These cars are wicked pricey to fix up.

[sm=ttiwwp.gif] im glad ur okay, just curious as to what the damaged look liked, i hope u did take pictures for insurance purposes, always have a camera in the car

Yeah, I took pics, but not with a digital so I don't have pics to post. I need to get them developed. Anyways I'm not turning it into the insurance. The windshield is getting fixed under Comp. coverage. The roof is going to get filled in and repainted along with the hood and fender. As far as the front bumper, it's getting replaced with a body kit. Which one should I get? I was thinking the Street Scene Gen1 with the SSE Center Fog Light Grill.

not sure who you work for, but if you were traveling for work purposes, and they don't provide you with a vehicle, they are responsible for any damages, which is why most companies won't let you use your own vehicle for that purpose

the shopping center could hit ya for a few grand for the light pole. the city ones are around 10k to replace

I'm not going to sue the company I work for or anything like that. I'm not that kind of person. It wasn't one of those realbig light poles only about a 7-9 ft. with one bulb at the top. I'm guessing it will be around $1,000. They still haven't contacted me about it yet.

glad to see there are more people in the world who aren't sue happy. Seems like everytime you turn around, someone is sueing someone.
Hope everything works out for you!

The Winshield is completely finished. They put the new one in Monday Night. Now I just need to decide on a front bumper.
