So my commuter car needed:

It needed some work done to it. 12 year old car. I debated back and forth on getting rid of it. I decided to wait until I found the right TL-S... This morning texting with another member I told him maybe in 3 months. Well this changes everything now.... I'm ok in some pain going to the Dr. though...

But I'm sure it will buff right out. /redtext

Damn I only saw the one side... Way to give me half the story!


Also not just buff, you'll need some dr color chip to touch up a few areas.


Good as new

Just vinyl wrap over that little dent and it should be good to go.

I'm surprised there wasn't airbag deployment.

Nope no deployment of airbags...

Glad I'm fine if I didn't swerve it would have probably been worst...

Damn, Flip! I'm happy you're alright but I wouldn't be a true friend if I wasn't eager to know what you've got planned next? *cough, cough, 5.0*. It gets great MPG, honestly! I average around 10-13mpg and 150-170 miles per tank.

/sarcasm

Glad you're ok though bud. Could've been way worse.

Again dude so glad you're ok. Damn them distracted drivers. Do you know if she was texting or talking on the phone or was she just oblivious to the rules of the road?

Now that I think back, yesterday's commute to and from work - I nearly got sideswiped on each trip. AM was a slow drift over into my lane with the only place for me to swerve was over a curb and down a hill.

PM was a brodog in a shittruck swerving like he was drunk. Texting.

I don't respect those people.

Wait, what? You drove up and over a curb? How's your wheel(s)? Suspension?

Oh. That wasn't too clear of me. Please accept my apologies. There was enough room that I was able to swerve right towards the curb, activate the Idiot Annunciator (horn) and use the raw and superior Honda-HP to move away from the femdope.

No justnoffroading for me this time.

Soory for any confusion in my CSB.

Thanks everyone. The car shopping has began... I'll have the rental until the claim is settled then a additional 3 days.

I think the girl just wasn't paying attention. When I hopped out the first thing she said was she has full coverage. I've been looking up the values for the Corolla. 2004 104k on the dash I'm hoping to get 5k but who knows.

I dunno if possible, but whatever your insurance decides to pay you out, don't accept their first offer. Negotiate with them (politely and professionally) and try to get a bit more.
