Coming home on Thursday night (St. Patrick's Day), I took a different way home so that I could stop by the bank. After doing so, two minutes from my home I hit a stoplight. I was going to go straight. The guy across from me was in the left-turn lane. The light turned green, so obviously, I went. So did he, thinking he had a green arrow. He did not. So, this is my baby. Frame is toast, front is...well...gone...Airbags deployed, windshield broken, and I'm burnt on my arms, and have a broken foot from the impact of him hitting me so hard I went forward and snapped my foot against God knows what.
Needless to say, St. Patrick's Day is no longer my favorite holiday.
I'm heartbroken...That car is my baby. I don't even want another car...I just wish my Cav would be ok. Another "coincidental thing" ~ I go to school for Automotive Collision Repair. Ha ha.
I miss my car...
Yes, glad you made it out as well as you did. I'm sure you'll be back on both feet soon. Good luck with either this car, or the next!!
at least your alive to tell about it. Hope everything goes well for ya for now on.
"All my life I have been trying to figure out who is behind this face of mine"
Ouch.
Forget that cav... take the insurance money and buy a Z

Gee, I apologize, oh forum-ruler. It's not as if I've wrecked a car before, to where I'd know I had to post pics in a specific location. And technically, it's not the "wrong" forum, it's just not the most "correct". They're pics...(media)...Of a J-body...So yeah.
Anyway, yeah. Sucks pretty bad...I miss my baby. Stuck with getting a new car now. Frame is toast on my car, so I won't be fixing it. It's gone, I'm sure. Might get a Pontiac G6 Coupe when they come out this summer. Not looking forward to it, truthfully, but not much I can do.
Damn that sucks, ur car was clean. Glad you're okay though, other than the foot. Good luck with whatever happens to 'er next.

yud be surprised...... i hit a concrete wall with my 97 SE and they didnt total it out and i had extensive frame damage in the rear(lefr rear shock tower was pushes in 3 inches and up 1.5inches) and i had to put a whole new quarter panel on my car as well as fixing all the bent stuff up front
so if i can crack a concrete wall on the freeway and keep my car... yer chances are still vert much alive.....
plus the unibody frame rails are supposed to ben on impact.... i personally think yer gonna get to keep it.... just cause the frame is bent doesnt mean $#!+.....thats how they are building cars now a days... to ABSORB impact... instead of how they used to build cars with actual frames that were ment to plow through the opposing force......
keep yer head up... all is not lost yet
Shush Weasel..i want my shirley temple
It's over $5000+ damage on a car worth about $4000. It is for sure gone.
just wait...im a body man.... i fixed wrecked cars for a living .... ive seen some really jacked up cars get saved.....infact we just got rid of a rolled(and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled) 2000 s10 blazer..... kind alooked like the explorer from jurassic park hehe
im just saying...... just be patient and wait for the insurance company to call...
my 97 SE was a salvage car when i bought it... only paid 2500 for it... when i hit the wall.... i did 6500 worth of pain to it and its still sitting in my driveway completely normal..... other then its got airbrushing all over it and now wearing GT body armor(im giving it to mom after i repaint it and airbrush a lighthouse mural on the sides)
just wait and see what they say
Shush Weasel..i want my shirley temple
And I'm a body girl. I go to school for Auto Collision Repair...The shop it's at now (my dad's truck shop) is very near to my school, so some of my instructors came down and looked at it. I wish I could say you could be right, but unfortunately that isn't the case...Sucks either way, but not much I can do about it.
Damn Aili, that blows... G6? Noooo! Not a "Small Car"!!! You better come to the bash so I can hump it

Well, whatever you say. I'm wanting the coupe, which isn't out yet. Either way, I never liked the new Cavalier body style at all, nor do I want a Sunfire, and I think the Cobalt looks like three other ugly cars all sectioned and put together. To each his own.
no offense aili, but their are in face other cars other than sunfires cavaliers cobalts an g6's....widen your horizon, going from a cavalier to another econobox is just a step in the wrong direction...

Are you assuming I didn't already LOOK at other options? Because I did. I picked what I wanted. Get over it I guess? I made the Cavalier/Sunfire comment because that is what everyone keeps suggesting I get. The statement was made only to stop the "get this!" comments. Thanx.
