I just realized I neglected to say how it happened.. I was in the left lane and someone was turning left.. nothing wrong with that.. except I had looked at a car for a split second because I was afraid he was going to do something and that is when the car decided to turn left.. and I live in the city (now) so there are no left turn lanes.. she was at a dead stop right in front of me.. luckily she hadn't turned at all yet so it was a head on collision and I slammed on the breaks which tilted my car down in the front and put it under hers (she drove a big bodied older benz) so there was absolutely no damage to her car at all and there was quite a bit to mine.. she wasn't to worried about it but said she was going to have it checked out.. I just hope she doesn't try to screw me or anything because that would hurt.. a lot

You probably have the same amount of damages as me. I need new headlights, grille, hood, and tie bar. Planning to bring it to the shop this week. Oh yea...if your claiming your car with the insurance, just tell to write you a check instead...they usually give you a fair amount. If it ends up costing more then you can always have the repair shop call the adjuster and they'll reimburse you. Good luck.

eh I can't use insurance because I just got sued for an accident a couple years ago (the guy waited till just before 2 years was up) and the settlment was $400,000 so if I try to use them now they'll drop me.. isn't there a website that sells acura parts cheap? I need to get a hood a radiator and the headlights.. those are the only big parts I know of right now

I hit a motorcycle and the guy got fired after that for screwing a student (he was a teacher at my school) and he tried to blaim it on me.. and ofcourse the school did not admit to the affair because they didn't want the bad publicity... so he was able to claim that he got fired from his job because of his ankle (all that happened was he broke his ankle) and also claimed medical and pain and suffering.. the bastard asked for 1.5 million (I knew him before this and he's a freeloader) he deserved some money but not what he got
