I dont have the nrg to explain this, but i just rear-ended a truck with no back bumper. The front of my grille got pushed back about 6", the front bumper is wrecked, and the hood is damaged. Does anyone have a clue as to how much I'm looking at to fix all of this? I'm getting it looked at tomorrow morning, ill know by then, but i was j/w.

Yeah, for those who know me, this isnt the first god damn thing to happen. I sware to god it's just a sign not to have this car.

No way it's going to be that cheap to fix i think. I'll explain what happened later.. I'm still feeling REALLY ####ty about what happened.

Well, it was the first accident i've been in, and it all went pretty smoothly. Called 911, cop came in like 15min, he took both of our stuff, sat in his car for like 1/2 hour, gave the other dude a ticket for not having a rear bumper, and let me go with a police report. I called geico right when i got back to work, and i'm setup to get it looked at by an adjuster tomorrow morning @ 9am. Then i'm brining it to a good repair shop i know of (Nick Orso's in syracuse). Gotta pay the $500 deductable, and then wait for the parts and such to come in and get replaced.

#### sucks. I REALLY hope my rates dont go up a lot.


Btw, it's the hood/front bumper/grill

Yeah, I know, thnx man...

Me and the car don't seem to get along to well. Heh. But believe it or not, I still love driving it. Whatever, the accident sucks, but that's why I have insurrance. I'll get it appraised tomorrow and fixed soon.

Yeah, but my "17k car" means just as much to me as most peoples cars who cost 2 and 3x that. It's the hassel more than anything, and the embarassment.



Whatever, that's why i have insurrance. Sorry guys, I didn't mean to make your premiums go up, lol.

$2700 damage (from geico adjuster). I'm taking it to an expensive, really good body shop here in CNY. I bet they charge about double that. Not my problem though.

Bleh

lol guys


Blah. It's not so bad I guess. Yes, it sucks that this happened, and I probably will end up paying more for insurrance now. ugh.

I'm dead serioius when I say I've never had car trouble before I bought this tC. I really hope it gets better. My friends at work think it's going to be the death of me, maybe they're right :/

Anyway, to make my life even better... I was promised a set of stock wheels/tires that comes with the tC by default when I ordered the 18"s with perelli rubber. Oh, that never happened. Then I was promised a set of snow tires instead, oh.. that still isn't happening, and guess what? It's snowing here in NY. Then I was told I'd have a new transmission b/c of the problems I'm having with 2nd gear grinding, oh.. that's still not happening. The tranny is on backorder, and has been for a month.

I'm inches from just selling this car, and getting an RSX or something. I mean, wtf!
