EY3BA11 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 This is how i started mine... Minding my own buisness headed down eastern just left the light at trop.. see some brake lights ohh a good 6-7 car lengths up.. hit my brakes and do nothing but slide... all the oil and antifreeze and everythign else all the damn polluter cars in vegas leak on the ground just sent me sliding.. No matter what i did crank the wheel pump the brakes hit the e-brake ( thats how long i slid had enough time to think it out before i went ahhhh sh*t. the other driver said the same thing he was like man i sat there adn tried getting out of the way and even tapped the lady in front of him goin hey move.) i was headed straight for that trailblazer like there were huge a$$ magnets in both our cars. I ended up with a damn traffic citation for too fast for the conditions when in reality i wasnt going tooooo fast Hit the brakes at about 15-20 and hit the other guy prolly 5mph - 10mph or so wasnt violent but the cop said someone gets a ticket adn since you hit him its gonna be you.. wonderful.. ohh well.. sh*t happens.. Told the wife we should have kept the truck this wouldnt have happend lol. The hood was damn near folded in half.. When the cop was getting ready to leave he saw me jump up on the hood a$$ first and flatten it.. Kinda looked at him and said hey i gotta get it home somehow lol. It is still driveable as i drove it home however i cant get the hood to latch anymore ( went to open it to inspect it even more and now it wont latch again ohh well ) and of course the damn insurance company is out till tuesday so i cant even get it to a shop to get appraised and looked at. I know its gonna need a hood, passenger fender, radiator, rad support, hood latch brace thingy, headlight since all the tabs are broke on one of em, and some other stuff. So who does body work and can hook me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EY3BA11 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I believe state farm wants to send it to sudden impact on boulder and sahara but i might opt for the stealership to fix it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp-guy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 you should be able to take your car anywhere YOU want to have it fixed. That's how my insurance company works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That's cool but I would take it to a place I was comfortable having it repaired. But if they recommend it, then it should be a good place too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks man, but don't sweat it. I don't expect a damn thing from you for using the truck. You have done enough for me for the site to pay for that ten fold. Thats what buds are for ma facka. You'll have the car back in no time. Till then, you can roll prez style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
