Quick Update

I havent been around for a while now, just been busy with school and life in general. Plus my poor CL isnt exactly in the best of shape at the moment



What she used to look like



After a slight modification by a lady in a Kia Rio in Ohio

(I have another headlight in, and rigged up some turn signals)

I was merging onto the highway, I was fully in my lane and in the very left of it. She comes flying out of nowhere from the slow lane, drifts into my lane (probably looking for a cigarette), scrapes my mirror, decimates my fender, I see my front bumper doing a boomerang in front of me and land in the center divide and my passenger side headlight explode. She goes sideways and stops on the side of the road. No one was hurt, but since I was the one merging I was technically at fault . I had to bend my fender out with my lug wrench so I could keep going (on a long roadtrip).

And the car broke down in New Jersey because the crash damaged a wire, which caused the door lock fuse to blow and the security function to kick in, so I had to get it towed to a dealership. Thankfully I was at a friends house, otherwise I would have been screwed.

Im getting the parts together and hopefully she'll be back to her original glory in a month or two. Its been hurting me to see it like this since last month

OUCH!! Atleast its only the fender and head light!! You might be able to reuse your old bumper, depending on if the tabs are still intact. GL!!!!

If you were on your lane already, she's at fault for slamming into you.

I know. The hood is still saveable though, its just slightly tweaked on the passenger side... which will get fixed.



I broke down in Hightstown NJ, and my friend took me thru the ghetto in Trenton at like 1am on the way to my hotel

It really wasn't as bad as I expected. It was quite an adventure. I almost got lost all night in the woods in PA, and then arrested for underage possesion of alcohol when I was with a friend of mine and me and her got interrogated. Met some dude from NY who was high on shrooms and limping his broken Lexus to Miami and wanted to rob a store to get the money to fix it. Drove through some epic thunderstorms, and a few other things.

Yea, the only problem may be that the little screw head the side of the bumper rests on (goes into the plastic slot) got pretty mangled I might be able to bend it back into position. I got really lucky though, if I had been a few inches over to the right I would have been rearended.
