I was getting onto an expressway onramp when the guy in front of me slammed his brakes. By the time I reacted I was too close, wheels lock up, booom....


Rear-ended a 1994 Toyota 4Runner

My car:











The 4Runner had some small dents on his big metal bumper and that was about it.

******* gay.

On a lighter note, the body shop is going to pick up my car tomorrow and I should have it back in a week or two.

 

any engine or suspention damage???....for your sake i hope not

 

My AC line snapped right off of the radiator, other than that I drove the car around for a while and it felt fine. Visually there was no engine or suspension damage, but who knows ??

 

Really sorry that happened I had a hard time being without my pro last year.

Thats why I always use the 2 secs. rule.

 

I just got back from the body shop that's gonna do the work.

Their preliminary estimate was at $6700

Damn car crumpled up like a cookie

To top it all off the body shop said that it will take them at least 10 business days to do the work AFTER they get an insurance agent out there. So 3-4 weeks till I have my baby back

 

That really sucks. It is always hard not having the Protege for awhile. Was that your first wreck?

Oh man, betcha my car looks worse

 

Don't start any competition here. I've got you all owned in that department as it is.

That really crumpled the front thought didn't it.

 

Yep, first wreck.


Yeah, it's like the car is made out of cardboard. My right headlight was turned into sand. I will need a new front bumper, grille, headlight, radiator, radiator support, fan assembly, cooling reservoir assembly, new AC condenser, new right fender, new washer fluid reservoir assemblyl, and a whole bunch o' paint.

Labor charges are a bitch.

 

Ouch.

Are YOU okay?

 

Glad you're still with us!

 

Yea most definitely. Other than psychological shock, I am totally fine.



I might complain that the Protege crumpled up, but I'd rather the car broke into a thousand pieces than my spine

 

Good luck with the repairs. Make sure you get some history on the body shop. I had a drunk guy drive right into my nose when it was parked out in front of my place one night. It took forever for the insurance to get it into the shop, and then the shop they sent me to did a ******' HACK job. They should have replaced the fender but didn't, scratched my brand new front bumper cover and then hid it under the winter bra, didn't even tighten all the screws or aim the new headlight, and a bunch of other stupid little things........and people ask my why I don't like to let anyone work on my car
Sorry about that little rant - still pisses me off. Glad you're okay. It appears there's a bunch of us getting banged around out there
