Default So i definitely got in to an accident last night with my GS

Yeah so girl blasted through a red doing i estimate 35-40 mph and clipped (clobbered) my passenger side rear.

rear QP toast, trunk toast, bumper, toast, lights - toast, exhaust bent, DRIVER's side QP - creased, DRIVER's side door no longer has an even gap between the door and QP, paint had cracked/chipped on the door sill of the DRIVER's side read door.
PLUS since she hit my passenger side, the navigation unit is fubar
PLUS when she hit me i spun and slid sideways and then ended up rolling and banging my lowered GS over a 5-6 inch curb head on....
This was all i could see in the dark....

pics in next post



lataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

edit: boy am i glad i drive a lex. taking this hit protected us very well. it turned in to being only a minor accident and my car took the hit like a champ. things of course are damaged, but i'll say the impact was like this. definitely hard, but contained. I may not want THIS GS after this bc i know it wont be the same, but i know im either getting another one, or sticking with a lex in general!

here she is


closer


closer


look at the gap between the door and the QP


now this is the opposite side. the QP is hitting the door


since she hit me from the side, she ripped the who steel reinforcement bar clear off too


close up... ripped off the passenger side, halfway ripped off the drivers side. thats going to be a lot of cutting and welding to get that **** to be safe.


notice the dents and creases on the drivers side QP there looks like there is 3. oh and the trunk is definitely off alignment. i dont no how it is staying closed


notice the crease on the QP by the door. (hard to see but definitely there


crease on the door sill. see the chipped paint? the is definitely damage here too.

damn that looks pretty bad. It doesn't seem like there is much but that rear section has to spend quality time on the frame machine.
