Sorry to hear about your baby. Silver lining, at least you can get another one if it's totaled. If you had chosen ABM...

I hurt for you. That said. I would have probably been arrested for assault and beaten the snot out of the kid

PQ · 12-07-2009, 07:47 PM

Was his name Clausen?

I've heard that too.. :(

OH that hurt...

As said before me, we feel your pain. As much as it would have felt good to unload, glad you kept your cool - you're lucky you did or it could have turned out worse for you. Yea, an apology would have felt good, but today everyone is afraid to admit they f#@ked up or be liable for who knows what.

Its amazing what can be done today to suspensions that get creamed, it will work out fine.

Hang in there.....

LOL Enterprise picked me up in a maroon HHR. I was heartbroken and wasn't thinking and when they asked what car I wanted, I said, "can I just have this one it's the same color...". What a wuss I am.

Good eye....bent tie rod and strut. Only 3 struts available in the U.S. Let's hope I get one...

He was literally parked on a side street and I was driving down the road. As I came up along side him he just took off to make the U-turn. "Failure to yield" was noted as cause of the accident on his part.

Keep the sympathy and humor coming. I'm starting to feel a tad better.

I must say that I am a bit over-protective about my baby, and would have probably went insane. I will say that there are a lot of talented body shops around, and at least since it is new the paint will match!

bossbunny · 12-07-2009, 08:08 PM

OMG - how horrible! I would die or go insane as well. That sucks! Hopefully it gets fixed as quickly as possible.

Your advice is on point, but someone stupid enough to make a U-turn without checking for traffic probably isn't smart enough to know not to admit fault after an accident.

I wish there was an insurance co that just didn't cover people under 22-25 so I don't have to subsidize other people's stupidity.

I know there are good drivers under age 22 but a lot of teenagers are just a guaranteed accident. Only question is when.

I will say that this is the second camaro that I have seen the front wheel push up into the wheelwell. I did see the parts arrive today for a local here that smashed a curb and wall with his. Very much like yours as damage. Parts weren't to bad about a week. You will definetly be needing a lower control arm. Seems that every camaro that wrecks on the front corners needs that replaced as well. Insurance will be going up on these cars soon watch and see. Poor design on the front suspension. Sorry to see and hear of another camaro damaged. Punk kids. Dont forget your depreciation you will need it.

Hope your Camaro has a speedy and successful recovery!
