First of all, he's fine physically. But the guy rear-ended him, causing Scott to rear-end the guy in front of him, which resulted in a bunch of damage to both ends of his car. He said his headlights are popped out, his trunk won't close and has a "huge" gash in it, but I don't know what else is wrong. The other two cars weren't damaged at all.

Anyway, the kicker is that the guy who hit him is his COUSIN. They weren't together at the time; it's totally random that they happened to be at the same intersection. In the 5 years we've lived here, I've never run into any of his family members randomly on the road. What are the ODDS?

 

Is this his Pontiac?

 

Yeah... I just talked to him again. He said there's definitely frame damage.

He's sending me pics as we speak, I'll be able to post them in a few minutes.

 

Totalled!!!

 

oh damn, glad to hear he's alright though.

but damn, it's a small world.

 

Why do you say totalled? Please don't say that... he'd be more upset to lose that car than to lose me.

 

frame damage = very bad. either it woudl be unsafe to drive on teh roads, or would be too costly to repair.

It might not be too bad though. aren't there like 100k+ miles on the GTO already from all those roadtrips you potheads take?

 

Acurazine before the insurance company...

 

Since it's his cousin, I'm sure they'll settle this privately.

I would think...

 

I don't much care for my cousins

Mike

 

if your cousin is ready to buy hi a new car, then skip insurance. YAY!

 

Look, his car is not totalled. I know my husband, if his precious GTO was totalled, he'd still be at the intersection on his knees, sobbing up towards the heavens, "WHY!?!?!?!" :shakehead

Extensive repair, yes. Totalled? No. I doubt it. If it IS totalled, insurance will kick in. If it's a few thousand bucks, his cousin will cough it up.

 

rough, glad to hear everyone is fine though.

 

Damn that sucks.

Everyone always says "oh theres frame damage" after an accident. Im sure there isnt any by the way you described the damage.

Long live the goat!

 

exactly!

 

totalled = brand new GTO


btw, this is scott



Not sure if there is frame damage, but the rear bottom of the trunk is definately where the middle of the trunk use to be. We'll see, i've got a great bodyshop that'll do the work, you guys have probably seen them numerous times on Overhaulin

What this does definately mean is i'm getting my new front bumber from OZ

 

he drives a Holden Commodore? Cool.

 

Pontiac GTO, same thing

although, commodore is the 4 door, monaro is the 2

 

Peeps actually drive GM product in California? You don't say!

 

Ok scott, you know the rules.

We need pics of your damaged car before this thread hits page two.

Otherwise, we ban.

 

Hope you don't have frame damage. I once had frame damage repaired on a car and its never the same. Plus I had a shit load of mechanical problems after that. Engines and stuff stuck to engines don't like to be shaken the way accidents shake them.

Glad you are okay.

 

Funny I'd like to put a bullet in my brothers head.

 

uh oh... you are running out of time...

 

It good the hear is okay. That is the most important thing as cars can be replaced, but not scott. Anyway, tell scotts cousin to learn how to drive (keep distance, etc.) and now for the smiliy

 

Sorry to hear that Scott.

If the frame damage isn't that bad then getting the car perfect again isn't a problem with a good shop. (and Lanzini's defiantly qualifies)

I did that to my 94 accord and the shop got the frame absolutely strait. It was on the rack for a day but the car was perfect after that.

 

If you go to a good shop, the fram can be straighened out if they know what they are dealing with. I just hope that is is not so bad that it has to be cut off and rewelded like my cousins civic was. (he rear ended a truck at night in the rain going about 60 on the highwayneeded to get everything from the front of the rear passenger door forward replaced)

ALSO 2 PAGES HAS BEEN REACHED WITHOUT PICS

 

I highly doubt there is frame damage, regardless i'm confident my body shop will make it new again. Damage isn't THAT bad, just annoying.

Pics up in a second

 

glad it wasn't too bad. that yellow car on the first page is hot!

 

Here are the pics, it's really not that bad, the rear quarters buckled out a good amount and the quarters are just straight out of alignment, the trunk got crushed in a good amount.







Here you can see how the rear quarters buckled





and the trunk bent up pretty good



here you can tell how the trunk buckled so I can't get the spare out










And the front made out pretty good, still some gap issues, and a new front fascia

 

yeah, there's shouldn't be frame damage... it's not that bad..

 

Caliadria= drama queen?
The car doesn't look that bad at all.

 

Have you ever thought that maybe your cousin was stalking you and did this intentionally? Did he ever have a crush on Cali?

Mike

 

 

the best part is we have our annual "cousins christmas" party in about 2 weeks, so I'm going to get one of these to wear

she was just going off my description, and to me any damage REALLY sucks

 

 

I can imagine the conversations.

 

thats pretty good

 

yeah the pics don't look that bad. I see what you eman abouteh trunk buckling, but that's sub frame damage, not main frame damage.

 

Im surprised there have been no "It'll buff right out" comments made.

@ the brace thing.
