Crashed My Car!

BEFORE...





AFTERMATH...

lip hanging...

dent from light pole...

raidator support lil bent, driver front frame lil bent...

ass shot...

heartbreaking...

another...

heres the story...
early in the morning heading to work, im at a left turn light... heading down the on ramp the sun beams right into my eyes, i get blinded for a split second...(you know how if you get a bright light in your eyes you get the after effect of fadedness) well yep thats what happen... thought i saw something in the road, swerved, my car started to drift out of control... my rear tire caught some rocks/debris thats on the side of the road.... went right in to a little drainage canal on the side of the road hit the gutter head first, did a 180 right into a light pole... I thank god i walked away with just neck and back pains nothing serious... and also thank god for not having anybody else involved... my car is replacable, but my life or anyone eles' isn't... THANK YOU GOD!!

ANOTHER QUESTION...
Do you think its fixable???!!!

Ouch good thing you walked outta there alive and without any major injury. And about your car, if you have full coverage, get a 02-03 conversion done, and in my opinion----> Yes It can be fixed and you can comeback bigger and better. Your car was beautiful, but like I said you can still bring it back. Good luck and keep us updated on whatever you decide

Cause I've been dying to do that to my headlights but people kinda scared me off telling me about the beam being extremely off.

I glad U R Ok. Next time you are on your way to work and the sun hits your eyes use your sunviser. If thats not enough look down at the line. That also helps if you are drunk....... just kidding.

Wow that sucks. I know you worked hard on your car and put much $ and some effort into your car. Atleast you are OK. Thank God. Only one of you, plenty of 03 TL-S's to get out there...hint hint.

oh....I was lucky too....
seriously I did the same thing on my car a year ago at night.
I made a 60 degrees right turn at 90km/h but the speed sign limit was only 50km/h.
My car started to drift out of control and the head of the car pointed to the side of the road at a high speed and then made a 180 degrees and spinned again.....
Pretty scary!!!!
