I don't blame him, my neighborhood entrance/exit has a bunch of signs up that cause blind spots, so it mostly is my fault. He was driving a Chevy Cavalier, some older Chinese guy, well he ended up about 35 yards away in a ditch, dunno how fast he was going for that to happen but speed limit is 45mph. Cops said it's my fault for "failure to yield", but I'm not too worried about that right now.

Cliffs: Was hit while in median, bad wreck =[, in the end it's my fault..

Pics: :gonk: Sorry about the bad picture quality, only had my phone.

No, I didn't get any pics of the other guys car. From what I saw his passenger side was all dented up and his passenger window was broken.

Yeah, I walked out without any injuries or scratches. Felt like I hit a big pothole at first haha

Thanks, I was rear-ended last week too and I was suppose to drop my car off to get my rear bumper painted. I guess that guy gets to save his money.. My car is a magnet for collision.

ouch, i was expecting to see some clean, just-washed SC and then bam, the front is ripped off, lol. I hope you had full coverage insurance and they total it out and then you can buy another car... I'm sorry about your accident. I've had some close calls since I bought my SC4 a few months ago but luckily each time it turned it okay and I'm thankful for it and I learn from each close call.

wowsers this impact and no airbag deployment? I barely hit a ditch and blew both airbags which ended up being the deciding factor in a total but seriously, these cars are tanks. It's tough to get seriously injured in them, I can attest to that TWICE. Glad you're ok

Glad you're ok. keep the salvage. use the $$ the ins give you to buy a new clip, do the swap, paint it and throw it on ebay. Sell if under market value, but for more than what you invested & use the proceeds to buy a new sc, or project of your choosing.
