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!

Jamie Mac · 08-10-2009, 12:02 PM

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?

SamsinSS · 08-10-2009, 12:13 PM

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.

I know I'm changing the subject but I would love to have a Camaro in that light purple color. I know, I know, Its the camera.

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.

linton23 · 08-10-2009, 04:22 PM

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.

BigMatt · 08-10-2009, 04:36 PM

Oh man double whammy

Seriously? Do these cars have "dumbass magnets" on them?

Earlier this year I was out to eat having a nice dinner, and had someone hit my car and tear the bumper off of my 2000 Camry. My car was parked! I've kept that car in wonderful condition and just installed the black halo headlights, and fog lights. So I know how you feel. Fortunately with new parts you would probably never know it happened.

But seriously, someone hit your car at the body shop?

The factory couldn't even match the colors in production...

GreendaleSRT4 · 08-10-2009, 05:59 PM

Ouch! I know exactly how you feel. I was rear-ended TWICE in 6 months. The last was a teenage girl talking on a cell phone.

Took out my L4 vertabrae...

SSOOCH · 08-10-2009, 06:01 PM

That puts a lump in my throat....

Thrillz · 08-10-2009, 06:03 PM

Why the %uck are parents who think they are so called experts at training there kids to drive in city streets with no brake pedal on there side if things go bad. Idiots. I would have falcon punched the parent if that was my new camaro.

It looks like the camaro is really sad. It went from really pissed off to "someone fix me!" Sorry that happened man. I'd be so pissed. At least your mom is okay. A car can always be fixed.

Xmicro_SS · 08-10-2009, 09:35 PM

That stinks, but it is just the front fascia from what it appears. Not that bad since the paint doesn't match on the front bumper from the factory anyway. you should be good to go with about $1500 in damage.
