So last night I'm driving home and my back passenger side tire blows out on a curve and I slide off the road into a bunch of rocks, cut up tree stumps/debris, etc. Looks like i will have to have the hood, front bumper, and whole passenger side repainted, missing front turn signal, need new passenger side headlight, new front fender, 1 tire and rim completely destroyed, 1 tire sliced on the sidewall, rear suspension messed up, heat shield under the car bent, Tanabe exhaust tip, canister, and piping all mangled, and thats most of it. None of the body panels line up on the passenger side at all. The pictures show the majority of the damage.

 

Ouch!!

 

any idea on how you blew your tire?
defect...

 

 

How fast were you going when the tire popped. It looks like you hit a curb with the wheel in the pic. Its good that you're ok.

 

look at the good side..atleast its not totaled and you can repair it! also you're ok. maybe an excuse to paint the car a custom color?

 

dude you just cant get a break

 

That sucks man, did it fuck up your intercooler or charge piping?

 

That physically pains me to see.

 

damn, damn shame..

 

holy dang brother. Glad to see you're okay..


I didnt know you had a primrose CL










jk

 

holy shit... lucky ur good and u didnt hit anyone else...

 

damn, please don't tell me you were driving around on your donut on the freeway.

if you were you deserved it. otherwise, I'm sorry to hear. my tires are getting low on tread and I'm scared to shit of them blowing out, I just can't afford new tires yet, so I'm driving cautiously.

 

OH NOOOOOOOO!!! ONE OF MY FAV CL'S!!! Sorry man, looks fixable though

 

Hope your intercooler is fine, that would be a biatch to replace.

 

damn that sucks. glad u're ok.

 

the intercooler is fine and i think the front bumper just needs paint. no i wasnt driving on the doughnut tire on the freeway, that was just a temporary thing to be able to move the car. was going 40-45 at the time. looks like the tire had been rubbing on something but am not entirely sure what the cause was.

 

well, they totaled it. damn.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! you've gotta keep it alive!!! I'd keep it witha salvage title...too much work put into it.



if not, can we work out some sort of deal for your motor setup?

 

damn meng, i hope shes back on the road soon, sucks this is the first time ive seen your car.

 

damn... talk about some bad luck with that car.

 

wait i thought i was your favorite....ok thats it! its over!!!!

 

Let us know what your plans are for the turbo H22. I really hope you find a way to get that thing back in a CL

 

Stop playing...why would they total it for that little fix. That's crazy! You should fight that.

 

appearantly they took out the back seat and it was all crunkled under there or something which is why the rear fender kind of goes under the trunk lid. the body shop was even surprised it was totaled and had already gotten some of the parts in for it. that motor only has about 10k on it im hoping to get it fixed anyway. i'll have an update tomorrow.

 

I hope you can figure somethin out, what a shame :shakehead

 

Well they're giving me just under 6 grand for it and I keep the car to part out. I have to go back to school on Thursday so I don't know how much stuff I can pull before then, but if anyones interested in anything the only aftermarket part that got ruined is the muffler.

 

dude, y cant you just fix the car??

 

1st dibs on spoiler and left side mirror.

 

you have a f motor or h?

 

oh he's got a H my friend..

 

r u kidding me?
very very disappointed man

 

plus turbo
