Well, I guess i needed a new paint job anyway......

last night about 11:30 i heard that screech and a bang.. cars crashing.


some drunk SOB (with his 12yr old in the 4 runner.. ) hit my car and took out 2 other parked cars.
he was taken away in hand cuffs in the police car.




i just washed the car like 5 hours before and now there is 2 inches of snow on the ground..

Ohhhhhh

Those pictures make me sick. Since your car is the most "controversially" popular car, time and effort....ohhhh my stomach hurts.

Well, hope you can make some lemonade out of this and hope the DUI guy gets his license revoked and kick in the butt with a steel toed boot, and mucho dinero in fines.

DUI people SUCK!

That rear wheel is pretty far forward. I hope it's just the beam or trailing arms that are bent and not the chassis.

You might want to think about trying to get it turned in strictly under his insurance instead of under yours then subrogatng his ins company. That way, you can get ludacris with the cost of repairs and make out on the deal and not worry about it coming back to you. In addition, you wouldn't have to pay your deductable. Just a thought, hope it helps.

I really don't feel too bad when my own car gets all smashed up because it's stock. But for your car:

Now thats some bad luck, but look at it this way, you'll be gettin new paint and while the body shop is at it im sure they can touch up other dings.

You're lucky the police were right there. With my luck the guy woulda gotten away with it and left my car a heaping pile of scrap.
