so im driving.. and im coming to a stop sign and i start slowing down but then i sneeze and i when im finally able to open my eyes.. theres a f'ing car infront of me and slam!. my car went under his car so mostly my bumper and hood are all f'ed up. his car had absolutly no damage. but from the looks only my bumper and hood are damaged. but when i turn on my car my gear light indicator does not turn on? this really blows balls and i want to cry =(. what do you think is wrong with my car

Nautsiju

ill try to post pics but i dont know really how to do it on this forum

That sucks, post pictures for sure. Hopefully its nothing too much eventhough that sounds like its going to be a good amount of money, for sure.

I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at this! I'm so sorry for your damage but oh my god this is the kind of stuff that everybody laughs about in drivers ed. "What happens if you sneeze while you're driving??"

On a serious note: whenever I have to look away or I sneeze I'm always quick to press on the brakes a little bit more than I feel is necessary (like if I'm coming to a stop light).

Do you mean the little light that shows what gear you're in doesn't turn on? Does the rest of your car function properly? And also, is the damage really bad; how fast were you going when you hit the guy?

i was going fast enough... eveything thing else in my car functions no wierd sounds or anything
well the light started working, and i parked the garage and took a good look at it.


in this image u can see that my hood is deffinitly #%$'d up...


in this image you can see how the fram in the front is kind of bent. my radior is SLIGHTLY bent but its not leaking. but the hood lock is does not match up with the hood.

damn, that sucks man

i've never been in an accident (knock on wood) but seriously the closest calls have always been when I'm sneezing!

hope you get it all sorted out for decent price

Nautsiju

think i should get a carbon fiber hood? i always thought they were kinda fugly... but a CF hood is the same price as a new+painted hood i think

My friend did this, except he crashed into a parked car after he sneezed.
The worst part is that his car wouldn't start after that, so no chance of escaping! lol

The frame will not bend with that small of an impact. Are you reffering to the radiator support when you mention frame? I couldnt tell by the pics. But glad to know your okay and the car in front of you didn't have any damages.

Sorry about your car man, here's a CF hood on eBay. I bought some other stuff from this dealer so they're legit.

P.S. get some hood pins to prevent the hood comes flying at you on the free way...

Man I'm sorry to hear this. I've always had a fear of doing something like this. I hope everything works out ok.

What kind of insurance do you have?

Nautsiju

so im back from vacation in cabo and heres an update on my car. i took in for an estimate to repair.. they said 3200 bones to fix the car. so im probably gonna put it on insurance. i need a new hood, bumper cover, front tie bar. 1000 bones in parts and 2200 in parts an materials

commodoregloom

I sell insurance.

I would call it in.

Sorry for the loss man.
