@#$%^ Teenagers

So I 'm on my way home from golfing last night and this idiotic teenager in a piece of junk ford decides to try and beat the light as I was about to make a left turn and plows into me head on. Well any way, props to the Max, it suffered only shattered bumper and grill as well as a broken headlight tab and broken fog light. The kid's Ford was totaled, puncture radiator and bent frame, junk car was probably worth 1200. Well now the long wait for her return. I get the honor of driving a Dodge Neon for a month.
Heres some pics I took with my cell phone.

There goes the resale value. That sucks though but that's what happens when you put these happy-go-lucky tweens behind a motor vehicle.

Either you were going pretty slow, or he just ticked you..but theres no way his car was totalled from hitting your car...theres barely any damage to the max! Did he hit you somewhere else too or hit another car? Looks like you were swiped. Sucks considering its all custom stuff

No stock bumper they are going to replace it with another RLM I ordered it today and it is on its way. They are also replacing the PIAA ring lights. I'm also having them put a custom 3M clear bra on the bumper. While I'm at it I'm also going to install the Stillen rockers and rear.

I'm telling you the car is totaled. It was a junk. The radiator split, there was fluid everywhere and the left front bumper was pushed underneath and against the wheel. A flat bed came and took it away. I said ealier the car was probably woth 1200 at best. And no, no other car was involved.

Hate to hear that your Max got hit... You really should tell the ins company to put you in something comparable to what you drive. I got in a wreck in my 00 Max a couple of yearss ago and they put me in a Max as a rental. I told them that i wasnt comfortable driving something smaller... and at the end of the day they don't want you uncomfortable with their cars since they want you to do business with them again. Don't take no for an answer. They can do it...

Yes, let's just have him go to prison for insurance fraud on top of his girl getting smashed. Even if he didn't get caught, it's ppl like that, I'd like to bash with a hammer in the face.

/sarcasm

Sorry about the accident Joes... I know how that feels!

Damn, another RLM bumper bites the dust; JSmith's and Joe's. I can't remember, this early in the morning, is the new RLM bumber fiberglass or urethane?

It's also people like that that create high insurance rates. Whatever happened to "Gee that sucks, hope your car is fixed soon!"?

Instead it's 'nail them for all you can get from the insurance'..........

It seems like you were at fault if you were making a left turn and the teenager was driving through a green or yellow.

Sorry about the accident. Good luck with the repairs.

Isn't that the truth. Some b rear ended me in my Murano. I look in my rear view mirror and see her talking on her cell phone and then flip it shut as she comes to talk to me. And its a realtor to boot, they're always in their cars and on their cell phones! I guess there are 2 kinds of people I don't like....lawyers and realtors.
