Well after a good night of hanging out with some buddies on a typical Thursday night, a couple of idiots decided to ruin it real quick! As it came time to roll out and call it a night im heading down the streets of Downtown Houston. I make my approach to a red light and turn the music up! Sitting there jamming out without a care in the world, at the moment at least then comes the green! Halfway out in the intersection I see a glimpse of light appearing fast on my left side eye... Sure enough I knew exactly what was about to happen. I tried turning my wheel as fast as I could to the right hoping this A*hole would swerve left but nope! I did my best to avoid him but there isnt much you can do when someone else decides to run a red light. Im sure you know what happened after that when two vehicles impact eachother. =(
What makes me pissed even more is that the other motorists are claiming I ran the red light and hit them. Which is a bunch of crap. There were no witnesses and no traffic cameras to verify it either. My words verse theirs. The cops took the reports down and found nobody at fault, and nobody was given a ticket. I couldnt believe what a bunch of ignorant liars they were and to sit there and accusing me of doing no harm.
As far as the damage goes, I got lucky enough the entire car wasent totalled. As always Im glad everyone was safe and nobody got hurt to begin with. Plastic, metal, fiberglass etc.. are replaceable and a life isnt... but excuse my language, Damn!! why me?.. and to sit there and lie about it..Shake my head!! I mean just the sight of the wrecked front end makes me sick and sad all together. Ive worked hard to save up money and spend a little here and there on making improvements for myself and others to view. But theres always a set back... Once an eye catcher, now simply an eye sore. It truely hurts. A piece of me broke along with the car last night.
Heres some photos of the damage I took before they hauled her off to the collision shop. Basically the entire front end will have to be replaced or fixed somehow.
Any ideas or estimates of how much this type of damage is? Would I have to get OEM parts, aftermarket, or could I do custom???
My first wreck and my heads spinning...
