What have you done to your P5 today?

Dude! 10,000th post!!!

....and that sucks. For localized damage, it's pretty severe. I don't know that I've ever seen that little area of a car receive that much damage!

Impressive.

Oh, WTF happened? Drive too close to Gone Fishin'? (boom04)

I'm kidding, geeeeeze!! ;)
 
I was going straight. Went through a light that had been long green.. then BAM honda accord popped out from behind a snow bank on the right and I hit the brakes, swerved, pumped, etc (no abs, very wet roads) and clipped his rear bumper. It spun his car around, just popped off his bumper cover (still totally intact, barely a scratch). Since I had hit the brakes and he was just taking off from a stop sign going left, the impact was very slow speed. No airbags, no injuries.

Called my insurance company, in 1-2 business days they will appraise my car, but until then I can't get ANY car rental reimbursement. Plus, I'm 20, so I think renting a car will cost hundreds of dollars a day, and my policy covers something like 50 dollars a day?

I'm going to call enterprise or whatever rental car company is around here to see what is goin on.

I have pics of my car going up on the flatbed and all, but yeah I have two final exams tomorrow afternoon and have to go in to work in the AM for some emergency server restoration so I have more pressing matters than posting on here for once o_O

preliminary list of what I saw broken:
-Hood
-Fender
-Front bumper (and sidemarker light.. though well I won't get another P5 bumper so that isn't an issue)
-Front fog light
-HID (at least the bulb possibly ignitor)
-CDM headlight
-Bumper core support
-The Styrofoam over the core support
-Fender liner
-Driver side engine under cover
-Possibly one of my intercooler pipes.
-front grille
-more misc bent pieces?

The car seems to still be totally in alignment, under the hood looks great from what I could see, etc.
 
Man that sucks ass :( I hope everything works out as good as possible. Maybe you can get an Autoexe grille or something out of the deal, think on the bright side :)
 
(cryhard) so sorry about your car

i'm sure you don't need to be told this chris, but we're all here for you, hopefully things get fixed very quickly and she comes back better than before...

(group)
 
Chris you have had one hell of a month. Wow man. My condolences.

In the words of Tupac - Keep ya head up.

No. I like the stock grille, a lot. I won't change that. The only thing I would change is CDM headlights instead of black painted usdm headlights, no more sidemarker (msp bumper cover) and no rockblocker covers.

all this is if when I heard that my car isn't totalled.
 
:( Chris - so sorry bro. Been here. Time for that MSP bumper cover you've been dreaming about.

Andrea - you should really send e-insulin with all that stuff you sent over ;)

Ahh! Dude, I'm so sorry to hear about your car. :(
 
that sucks :( at least you're not at fault. and the insurance company should give you a car. ive had one for every incicdent ive had since ive been 19
 
Sorry to see that Chris! I had my car wrecked just like that, mine was a little worse though. I had both my air bags deploy, bent all 4 struts, messed up core support, broken cross member, lower control arms, all 4 wheels busted, broken head light, windsheild, fender, and hood.

It can be fixed even better now!
 
That sux Chris. She'll be good as new in no time.

Managed to run mine thru the car wash last night. Thank god for warmer temps.
 
NOOOOOO....Glad to know you are ok Chris but that sux about your car. GL with getting her back up and running....better than before of course!!
 
chris, FWIW, i rented a car when i was 18 for an accident. a 50.00 insurance coverage is GREAT. it usually only costs about 25.00 per day. i think you'll be alright.

good luck with everything and, i doubt that you'll be totalled... but, if so, ....buy another one!!wewt.


******* hondas.

yeah but who is paying for all this? My insurance policy covers 50 dollars of rental per day, and according to my claims adjuster the Enterprise charge for underage driver is just 18 dollars a day if it is billed through an insurance company.. vs over 60 dollars a day if you just go there yourself. Either way, my insurance company is checking out the car today, so maybe I can get a rental car tomorrow? The idiot who hit me has Geico, and they were very terse and cold with me on the phone, saying that they won't talk about liability until they know how much damage is done to my car, and they won't send someone out to see my car for FIVE business days (bare minimum under NYS law).

I don't care about any of this right now though, all I care about is getting to my finals this afternoon and hopefully to work too.

Over 500 dollars to rent a chevy aveo from now until friday, with no insurance through the rental company because my car insurance covers me on rentals.
