so you're saying those parts are damaged?? what did you hit? i might be able to get you some of those parts brand new. as for what you can do...nothing really. Im glad you made it out okay! next time drive slow...especially at early morn hours. I just got home from clubbing myself and I always drive home slow. 1 bc its wet (yes, we got stormed tonight too) and 2, drunks get out from clubs so I avoid weird drivers on the freeway. but back to your problem, theres nothing you can do bro.. im sorry.

ugh that was just the shock of it. Something always happens to me once a year, two years ago it was black ice in the accord, so i guess i was due for 2" of water and some crappy misery roads. I was going about 30 at the time too (even more the reason why St. Louis needs more cabs). The car pulled me into the right concrete wall, everything works, I'm going to check to make sure the undercarriage is alright but there isn't damage to the running light on the right side.

Ouch... that's not good.

But TLBaller pretty much said it... you can't do anything about it now. You'll have to get it repaired or replace the damaged parts.

I have the $500 level, i was thinking of dropping it after the hit and run in jan, but decided against it. Whatever, my premium is about to rise. AC, do you have some pics of the ride? I want to see the tree and you killed. If it's not dead, let's go get a chainsaw and finish the job.
