My moms camaro got hit Saturday by a girl being taught to drive by her mom. Lucky for them they just got a scratch but my moms had a bit more damage. It just ripped the front fascia off the car. Needless to say my mom is very upset. 2 accidents in her life both by unlicensed drivers what are the odds!

That stinks. The real question is what damage lays behind the facia?

Rickscamero · 08-10-2009, 12:11 PM

Why does it look like ur mom drove into the unlicensed driver?

What I am getting it is, your front is damaged - most times when the front of the car is damaged - its that driver's fault.

How did the accident occur?

I would have had to break both of the newbies legs so she would NEVER drive again!!

volboy23 · 08-10-2009, 12:16 PM

That sucks. Hopefully they can turn it around for her pretty quick.

We have a bad intersection that goes into the walmart its a 4 way crossing with a stop sign on the west street and the east exit/entrance into walmart. My mom was headed north when the girl ran the stop sign and ran in front of my mom the other cars wheel well caught the front bumper corner of the camaro and pulled the bumper all the way around to the other side of the bumber its still attached on the passenger side. The G6 only had a scratch. There insurace has called and is handling everything. The frame and bumper brace is fine the airbags and onstar did not deploy .

Well, I'm glad it isn't that serious.. sounds like it looks worse than it is...

still a huge bummer though...

Brokinarrow · 08-10-2009, 12:45 PM

gah... teach kids to drive on EMPTY roads first!!!!!

wullger · 08-10-2009, 12:46 PM

Anyone else notice Wal-Mart tends to enter the picture when stupid (and unfortunate) things happen to a Camaro?

On topic though, sounds like the other party is doing the right thing and getting their insurance company to get you fixed up. If the airbags didn't deploy then hopefully it wasn't at too high of a speed.

geminidreams · 08-10-2009, 01:00 PM

Seriously wow that sucks.. glad you Mom is ok. Why do parents let there kids drive with out a license or even a permit let alone insurance that is sad and totally lame.

My son describes it best it was like they hit a pot hole. That being said it was the camaros great breaks that kept it from being a impact in the door of my moms car to just the front of the car.

Updated while at the body shop it was rear ended now they have to remove the rear cover and paint it. Anyone want to go blow the tires or break a wind shield.
