my first accident...

[askhao]

Got into an accident today at approximatly 7 P.M. The guy behind me in a Chevy was following too close and fast. I stopped hard at a light and he ran right into me. Everything was fine, all I felt was a push and heard a loud thud. The X was fine, but his truck was pretty beat. Here are some pics to share with everybody:

If your exhaust is messed up, and you're thinking of adding something custom at some point down the road, now is the time to do it!!! You can probably get a great exhaust system from a key aftermarket manufacturer for about the same cost or less than the pricey stock system. Do some research, and talk numbers to the body shop!

I got rear ended and ended up with a sweet Remus system since my stock set up was bent and replacement money was included in the repairs.

Not even that, they'll be dishing out about the same amount either way!

not if i go for a dinan exhaust, but im guessing that would be too much.


i went to the claim center, and they will be sending me my first check for $1642.

thanks for the suggestion, but I was hoping for one in new york city, and I really need a loaner car.

Ouch that hurts. I'm sorry to hear about the accident. At least know one was hurt. Was your rear suspension affected?
