I woke up this morning to this sight:
Someone hit it while it was parked in front of my house. You can see how far the car moved forward from the impact by the white skid marks on the road... I think I'll go throw up now... -------------------- |

Maybe a drunk driver? Call the cops and what they may do is tell the local body shops keep an eye out for a car with front end damage & orange paint.

OMG...speechless , feel sorry for you man
will the insurence cover it? no notes?, asked your neighbors if they saw anyhing? just a thought.... after such a impact the other guy's car would most likely be in a very bad shape and considering your paint is quite rare, maybe you should go to some repair shops, junkyards etc, to look for a match... yea a longshot but it's always worth a try hope you get the idiot thet did it -------------------- |

Well we got the guy. I woke up to the sound of "SOMEONE HIT YOUR CAR RYAN!!" I ran outside and two of my neighbors where already outside, the car that hit my car was driving back to my house. He's like 19 or 20 years old. I got his insurance info, the cops came, ambulance for the gash in his head. He claims he was only going 25mph and took his eyes off the road and "zoned out". My car hit my a truck that was parked in front of it. The impact moved both my car and the truck a full car length forward! 25mph.... please...
I've looked at the damage and i'm pretty sure it will total. I'm a body tech by trade and it looks grim. The left quarter needs to be replaced, as well as the rear body panel, floor pan, and left rear frame rail, hatch, both taillights, both fenders, and obviosly the bumpers, all the headlights are creamed... The front end needs to be pulled back around... I mean it has MAJOR frame damage... It's so sad... -------------------- |

Sucks. Totally. I remember tracking your progress on your car and everything from sanding priming and even you painting it. Total downer. Good luck, though.

Yea he has insurance. And supposedly the insurance company will pay for everything. For the custom paint, the body kit and all. Which is great. If it doesn't total, then I may be able to take it to the body shop where I work, and get payed to fix my own car... But I have a good feeling that it will total... Even if it did I would get the full market value of the car with all the modifications included.
Here's a few more pics: Look at how badly kinked my left rear frame rail is His car hardly got damaged... If you look closely you can see the black skid marks where the truck was moved forward. Notice how the quarter has been mashed into my tire Rims scraped -------------------- |
