Looks like you rear ended someone. I'm guessing it's your fault?

Painful to see such a nicely modded car like that. Doesn't look like too much damage, but these cars just aren't worth too much nowadays.

Looks like a T-Bone to me. Hubcaps generally are not on the backs of cars.

The accident happened at traffic light. I was driving to make left turn(My car was the only one who tried to make left turn at that moment. Of course it was on green light). And the other traffic light was on red. As soon as i entered that intersection to make left turn, i saw police car right in front of me. It was too late. He tried to drive through on red light. You know when you drive around, you see this pretty often. When traffic light is on red, some police car turn on their light and pass that intersection. This was exaxtly what happened today. And my neck is hurt... God damn!

Hope you feel better & good luck.

Usually I hate when people sue over a car accident, but in this instance - since a cop was involved - I can see you getting screwed on this. The second they start giving you the run around, get a lawyer. The dash cam will save your ass.

Did the cop admit fault? Was his lights on in the intersection?

Yeah the cop said it was his fault. 2 other cops arrived after accident. 1 of them reported accident. The cop who reported accident asked the cop " Are you sure it was your fault?" answer was " yes its my fault".
And yes his light was on when the accident happed. I didn't see him until i entered intersection. He said he didn't see me either. I claimed this on my insurance company. So we'll see.

Henry, you do auto body repair, right? Did it look fixable to you? To me it looks like the frame rails are bent downwards.

Love how that cop B was ready to back whatever story cop A could have made up. Need more cop A. Also, more cowbell.

Judging by what I can see of the headlights, the buckets look like they took the brunt of it. If the lenses and the reflectors are still undamaged, I have an extra set of buckets you can have. Just transplant all your stuff into it. Of course, if the ins co decides to fix it.

There's a great chance this car will need a right frame rail. You never know until it's dismantled though.

Sorry to hear man. Reminds me of when I wrecked my CL two months ago. Guy brake checked me and I ran into his tow hitch. Had to replace the radiator support.



She's all fixed now though. Found all my parts on car-part.com and AZ.

Make sure you get to the hospital and get an exam/x-ray. Take it from someone who got hit just about the same way. I didn't go then but wish I had as I have neck pains from time to time now.

this. i know of a few people who claimed to have neck pains after an accident and receive a handsome monthly insurance payment due to it. it's hard to prove what's legit and not, although i'm sure in your case it's legit.

as for your car, i dont even know what to say man. that car was so clean i think i would cry for weeks. even if they do rebuild it, it wont be the same if the sub-frame is damaged. plus all the mods you had in that front end. i hope shit works out for you. what a horrible way to start the new year.

Glad you're ok and let me know what comes out of this if insurance fixes it or you buy it back to fix. I'm local and might be able to come across some replacement parts for you.

Civic- yeah you're right. I'm not sure if reflectors are fine or not.
And thanks for offer Morgan. I'll let you know.

Streetka- Thanks. I'm really sad... I mean... Yeah i will go to hospital. My neck hurt more this morning. And my both arms are hurt too. I don't know why.

bigdaddy- thanks for offer. I appreciate it. I'll let you know guys.

And thanks everyone. I just drove my car little to see any more damage i can find. My alignment is way off. So there's something must be fucked up on suspension part. I gueaa subframe?? We'll see. I have to lift my car up and look. Damn..
