car laid to rest

[sharkey]

another first gen down heading up to the car gods. a few hours ago on my way home from work, a car ran a light turning in front of me and i hit em right in the passenger door. 99% sure my car is toast, the rad was pushed around the front header, and about all that survived was the hood. the rad support is bent real bad as was the subframes. ive got witnesses saying im not at fault, and the police seemed to think so aswell, so i may not get raped to bad by insurance. i go to look at the car tomorow and ill find out for sure if its gone or not, but im 99% sure it is. the bad part is everything in the car is new. i will likley buy the car back, but weather or not i build another is up in the air yet.

That sucks! If the subframes are bent then it probably bent part of the unibody as well. Not likely something you would want to fix up given that you could take all the good parts off and fix up a different car.

Take pics when you go see it tomorrow.

you got a lot of goodies on there too.
If you sell your stuff, I'm intrested in your headers..!

Hope it goes your way the best it can...

i may get another car and build it. all i realy lose out of this car if i do that is a couple hundred bucks in sound deadener. and nothing on the car is for sale, dont even ask.

I feel the pain, I got a phone call at 8:30 Monday morning to hear my wife say "I wrecked the car" My first though was is my daughter ok! But everyone was fine except the 02 GT.

And on another note you can bet your car is totaled. The insurance company is probably going to put this 2002 with 78,000 miles to rest. But thats fine with me, I can buy it back for %10 of the actual cars value.

NO! all the loser kids are out of school now and running forth like escaped cons, there is no mercy for those in their path.

Man, when F&F 3 comes out, we're gonna have dumbasses tryin to drift everywhere. There have already been some posts on some other sites about kids who dont know shit about a controlled powerslide flipping into people's backyards. And we're not even gonna talk about those who SWEAR they can drift their fwd's......

[sharkey]

it wasnt some punk kid, it was a bottom rung of society wellfair humping druggy that lived in her car that was likley intoxicated (she got arrested). i know my car is totaled, i know insurance wont fix it, and it will get dismantle only.

[Doubt_Incarnate]

yeah, even mint 0 mile first gen J's probly get totalted out at a few hundred bucks.

[sharkey]

for you people who like to see carnage



im not doing as good as i was after it happened. my right wrist is realy sore (may have a broken bone, going back to the doctors later today) and my back, neck, and shoulders are so sore. right now im not realy thinking much about the car.

[IsaacHayes]

Hope it's just sore and not broke. Get well soon!

KNow how you feel, as I wiped out a couple of months ago. Yeah, well the older they are, the harder it is to find parts. Best getting a later model. What a pisser........

[Doubt_Incarnate]

ouch, hope you bounce back quickly and stick around. maybe you can find another deal on abeater and swap your toys over, be it another j, a fiero, or something different.

[sharkey]

well, i just finnished my black interior swap and spent a lot of money of the new carpet and all the peices for it. suspention is all a couple months old now. motor is almost a year old. im gonna be looking for a 1st gen cavalier hatchback or vert. ive always wanted a hatch, i just love the look of them. it doesnt make much sence to go with something else like a fiero as all i can use is the motor. if i go with something other than a cavy, ill be getting my 300zx twin turbo 2+2.
