"Driver Inattention"






from the way it looks I'm f88k, more then likely will end up with a savage title, along with having to pay to fix part of it, still waiting to see how much they are going to give me....

I'm #1 and my car is sitting where I got hit, I was at a compleat stop when he hit me, if I would have been a car parked he would have still hit me.....

if you look you can see the marks from my tires when I slammed on my brakes hopping he would look in time to turn away

that could be fixed fairly easily. Just get a new (used) headlight and corner light, the rest can be repaired and painted to match.

don't think that fender is going to be able to fixed the front of it should be even with the front of the hood and the hood frame is bent thats why it's sticking up in the middle, bummper might be able to be saved but matching 27 year old light pewter paint might be kind of a pain.........


she books out somewhere around $1000, so will have to see what they give me then buy her back and hope I can come up with the rest of the money to get her back into the shape she was in. I live in a non rust area so hoping the junk yards have some parts that arn't all beat up already....

replace the hood replace the fender replace the lights. thats pretty much it. any paint shop should be able to mix you up that color. thats why paint codes exist.

I feel your pain. People not paying attention while they drive . I just got hit a few months back when a lady made a right turn, from the left-only turn lane, and tagged me right in the driver side doors. Again, sorry to hear and see that, but at least you were not injured.
