It was bound to happen sooner or later, looks like it was sooner.
Some j@ck@ss ran into me yesterday in a parking lot putting a good sized dent on my passenger side. He claimed he didnt see me, which I find hard to believe due to the size of my car. I took some pics at the scene with my camera phone.


It should buff right out

Here is the car that hit me, an 02 Celica

My car should be going into the shop by the end of the week. Im going to have the whole car repainted when they repair the doors.
The car still drives fine, and doesnt seem to pull any. Hopefully there is no frame damage.

 

OMFGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

wow that sucks!!! looks like he got more damage .... im dreding the day that it happens to me ... but in my case im more worried about freekin deer.

Good luck with repairs

 

Time for CF Doors!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those pics make me feel ill man. Least you will have a nice new shiney paint job.

 

DAMN!!!!!! My fave 4th gen Sorry to hear about that man, hopefully it gets fixed asap. What will you drive in the meantime? I hope he's paying for a rental, if so go through hertz and get something nice.

Again, sorry to hear about this man!!

 

Damn man, sorry to hear. Glad you're alright.

That Celica must have been going at a good pace, he looks like he hit you pretty hard!

 

hmmmm.....wasn't too long ago someone's Sterling Mist Max got hit in the same way.....

seems like everyone on the .org knows someone or got hit like that.

Now I'm scared

 

people are idiots.

 

Yeah, he was traveling at a good rate. He didnt even appear to try and brake. I saw him coming, and figured he would stop being that I was already on the main road and he was exiting a smaller parking lot but he claims he never saw me.
If I wouldve stopped, I was already in a postion to where I still would have gotten hit. It would have been the front end though and more then likely it would have done more damage.
He has insurance, and I will get a rental even if I have to use my insurance which they say they will get reimbursed by his insurance for it.
I had some new goodies I was getting ready to install soon, which looks like they will have to wait now.

 

Sorry to hear. It's always a pain when you get into accidents.. Even when you win, insurance still wins.

 

wow...how could he not see you...? Hope he got a ticket for reckless driving..as you should not be flying out of a parking lot into a street

 

Sorry to hear man...such a clean maxima....like u said u can get a whole paint job and be like new

 

Hope you werent injured.
And sorry about the car. But after body shop
i'm sure will look even better.
Painting same color?

 

Sorry to hear man. I think they will just replace the doors and do some side work. As long as he didn't bend the frame you should be good. P.m me on your lights. I have more time?

 

Wow, that is terrible. Good luck with the body shop and insurance if it's going that route. I hope your car will be back on the road as soon as possible.

 

damn that sucks.. looks exactly like both of my wrecks that i had except yours is on the passenger side.. hit me up if you need any help finding parts to get your car fixed, i got mine fixed for pretty cheap through a friends body shop

 

wow that sucks man... hope that he didnt bend that door pillar cuz if he did its time for a new car......... wow i aint getting a celica anytime soon.. that thing got ****ed up

 

Yup it does suck, but hopefully it can all be fixed like new.

I may hit you up. I plan on taking it to a buddies shop and letting them do all the work, but Id like to have some other options.
Could you P.M. the name of your buddies shop?
Thanks!

 

that sux man! i got bumped in the rear quater panel cuz some lady 'didn't see me' also. anyway, good luck with the repairs and i'm sure you can find some way to slap some more CF on there.

 

dam, id be going nuts. sucks to see this. well maybe good things will come out of it. how did the c.f. side skirt hold up?

 

good thing ur okay tho!! but tht sux man!! hopefully everything goes well.

 

It cracked, it will need to be replaced as well.

 

Sorry to hear about your accident...you've put a lot of work into your car and it's one of my favorite 4th gens...similar to what I'd love my car to look like at some point.

I doubt there is any frame damage...I was broad sided in my old Maxima and the damage was worse than how it appears in your pic but my frame was fine. At least you're getting a nice new paint job!

 

yeah, my mom was driving the max from work, when a semi tried to merge into her lane and completely screwed up the driver side doors. Luckily she wasn't hurt, and it was only the doors, just like in your situation. Shouldn't be so hard to replace, nor that expensive.

 

ouch thats got to hurt.

 

jesus, this season is cursing us

 

bro you owned the celiica

the toyota is trashed up ;O

 

damn ralph..sorry to hear that i would of gone crazy and probably be tearing my hair out of my head if i was you..people these days are just plain stupid they dont freaking look before they do whatever and they dont even care what happens to others as long as they get thru you..i guess time for carbon fiber paint job huh?!?

 

Oh my sweet Jesus. Good thing your ok flavor. I had a feeling by the title of the thread that something bad happened.

Good this is he has insurance, and he will be paying for everything. Hope the car comes back better than before, also you'll have a fresh new paint job. Make sure its atleast a 1 stage paint job.

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

A kiss. Cars like to have sex, though they usually do it when their owners aren't around. Tire marks on the roof are a sure sign. Sometimes it's love at first sight, and that's when the other person says 'I can't imagine what happened' or something like that.

 

That sucks. Sadly, parking lot accidents are usually private property, and as I understand it your insurance company may still have a hard time getting the other guy to pay.

1) I hate people who speed in neighborhoods and parking lots.

2) I hate people who turn/merge/exit without stopping or looking.

Yup, there trying to dispute it.
Either way,my car will be fixed. If I have to I'll pay my deductible and have it fixed. My ins. said if it comes down to that they will take them to court to get the money back.

 

Wow, what insurance do you go with? Seems like they really have your back in all of this!

 

Best of luck with everything man. I hope they get your ride back on the road in a very timely manner.

 

idiots can't drive safely shouldn't be on the road. sorry to here that flavor... hope u'll get it fixed soon.

 

WTF??? no more weed 4u!

 

did u say a good sized dent? hmm... i wish u well wit this man

 

Yeah, prettty good size . Both my passenger doors are fubard.

 

dude that aint no dent... looks like 2 big **** craters... sorry for your temp loss. atleast his pWnge > yours...

 

AHHHH! that blows man, id be devistated to see my pride and joy smashed like that.. eh at least you're okay. you get things straightened out
