Fender Bender, Wreck, Whats the diff?

[70cuda88]

So recently, i had my first fender bender, and it sucks...

So i came to a red light, and i had a frind in the car of course. The light turned green and the little ford ranger with a tail hitch started to roll forward, so i did too. I looked over at my friend for a split second without touching the accelerator and the ranger had stopped and i rolled into his pretty little hitch...

luckily, no harm was done to his car, but unfortunately i cant say the same for my car...

Damage Report

Hood - Popped out in two places
Grill and Grill Frame - destroyed
A/C fan - destroyed

many more things could have happened but they didnt so im pretty thankful

Ouch. That sucks. Your insurance is gonna go up now right?

That really stinks.

[coolieman1220]

i've had that problem but now i make sure i focus more and pay more attention!

I ****ing hate trucks with hitches on them for that reason

At least it isn't too bad.

[coolieman1220]

yeah trucks can do A LOT of damage to us poor car drivers. i gotta be careful when i text and drive in traffic but here in NYC its not bad wit hitches and we always got traffic

[70cuda88]

my insurance isnt going to go up because we never filed a report because i didnt do anything to the other guy so its all good there

i gotta be careful when i text and drive in traffic

Oh NOES! a Smashed E36

At least it's mostly cosmetic.

EDIT: ^ What he said. Srsly, people who use there phone and drive have no sympathy from me.

[70cuda88]

luckily i can say i was not using the phone

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Then you have my sympathy.

<pity pats>

Good move. Insurance companies rape young drivers as it is. Just be thankful he was a nice guy and had a hitch.

The damage doesn't look that bad, but hoods are expensive.

[70cuda88]

i think we can fix the hood by reversing the action.. im not sure exactly how to do it, but i have mechanics for friends

Mechanic shop =/= Body shop.

[Waugh-terfall]

Sorry to hear about it Cuda, perhaps it's time to make a trip to a scrap yard for a new fan and maybe a bumper w/ grille and a paint shop? Or would buying the paint from BMW and doing it yourself be cheaper?

Turn on your A/C to see if the condenser is leaking or not. As for the hood, push up on lows and down on the highs to get the dents out.
