so a couple days ago i was going down this 23rd ave and e 7th street, if anyone knows where that is haha.. near the alameda bridge in oakland.

its a green light and im going straight, this guy makes a left turn and i brake (not even threshold breaking) just slammed on my brakes, but i couldnt avoid it, i hit his 03 impala on the rear passenger side door and possibly his rear wheel well. i know its not my fault, he shouldnt have made that left..

anyway, my p.s. fender is bent, my bumper is cracked almost all the way down and scuffed, my hood is dented in the front p.s. corner, and my p.s. headlights are smashed. what do i do guys... im afraid that the total damage and labor costs might total my car, but im not positive of that yet. does anyone know if AAA goes by blue book value when it comes to totaling a car? i heard that if the cost of repair is over 50% of the car u get totaled.

all in all, it was a horrible experience. im not sure what to do at this point, i've contacted his insurance, and im waiting for them to call me back. does anyone know

what i should do? thanks for the input guys! (and gals)

actually no i didnt get a police report, i figured no one was injured soo... we didnt need one. its clearly his fault though... i just need some advice i guess. do i go to some random body shop or do i order the parts myself? or how is this done, i've never really been in this kinda situation before... frown.gif

by the way (off topic) goferris, it sucks that your selling your car, i was in salt lake city this past weekend and im going again 26th to 29th. but by plane >__< i heard provo is only 45 minutes away from there. i might be moving there actually next semester. but we'll see, too bad ur selling, i'd love to meet up in our celicas if i were to move there. anyway, back to topic. ahh. lol
