Default got into an accident today :(



was in the left turn lane behind a minivan. van made the turn but stopped for a second and then went off. I got rammed by an Econoline E250.

that part on the bottom of the page is a part of the rotor.

I am so pissed. :cry: :cry:

Ouch! It hurts to see that, especially when I lost my Vette when an old man in a Neon ran right into me. Fortunately, your damage isn't as bad.

Why was it flatbedded and sent to a police impound? It looks to be still drivable, or was the wheel bent? Hard to tell.

Nevermind, I'm blind. I just noticed the rotor.

I'm sorry to hear about that. It's always a shame when some nice car, like your vette, is damaged. Certainly if you couldn't do much about it. I hope it will be fixed soon, and hopefully your insurance costs won't increase too much.

thats crazy that your brake rotor broke in pieces :shock: and yet the body isn't in half-bad shape for getting hit on the side.
hope you can get that beauty fixed quicky and cheaply!

Very sorry to hear that! I cringed when I saw the picture. It hurts when I see a car of an enthusiast owner damaged.
