The entire bumper cover is dislodged, some mounting brackets snapped, and the right side exhaust tip is somewhat mangled. It's drivable, and I'll be dropping it off in the morning.

Be safe out there folks!!

That SUCKS!!!!!!! omg i feel for you. im extremely paranoid now haha especially since i have a dentist appointment where parking isnt exactly easy...

Yeah, well, I'm going to be finding out more in a couple of hours as far as what my options are.... think happy thoughts.... There is no upside here, no matter what the resolution it's going to cost me.

Coop
Sorry about your accident
Hope the kid got a big fat ticket!

fmcooper · 09-19-2011, 02:29 PM

Well I do know he was cited. I had the police report faxed directly to the folks that handle our claims, so I don't know what he was cited for... The cop was very cool -- he was commiserating with me. It went something like this:

Cop - "I tried to pull up the car in the system and couldn't find anything at all"
Me - "Could be because it's so new..."
Cop - "Is that a 2012"
Me - "Yep. Ordered it two months ago and have had it less than a week"
Cop - "Oh man!"

Camaro_krazee · 09-19-2011, 06:04 PM

Our state legislators are on the verge of finalizing the law to ban texting while driving. IMO, they should do like CA and only allow a hands free device for talking while driving.

Trying to dodge the morning commuters who are talking on the cell, drinking coffee, and shaving [saw a gal putting on make up driving 70mph!] is becoming an all to common event!

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! Go wrap your car around a tree out in the woods if you want to die...just leave me the heck out of your wreck!

Good luck with the repairs!

Witchdoctor92 · 09-21-2011, 12:02 AM

Well mine showed up on the dealer website today. Don't know what that means, but it's gotta be good news.

Witchdoctor92 · 09-21-2011, 01:32 PM

Car is at the dealership. Won't be able to pick up till next Friday though. Dealer sending some pics to follow.

TotallyDavis · 09-23-2011, 06:45 PM

LOL, I assume when people stop posting in this thread they finally got their Camaro, because, honestly.

Who has time for a forum about Camaros when you actually HAVE ONE!.

I hope you all come back at least a week into owning it though and post some pictures!

My only problem now is finding microfiber towels that don't leave a million damn mini-scratches all over my car.

Witchdoctor92 · 09-25-2011, 05:04 PM

I guess everybody has their car. I will turn out the lights when I leave.

Well mine is finally at the dealership that ordered it, around 1000 miles away. Dealership worked it out with me to get it delivered right to my door. Hoping Tuesday or Wednesday, but with how this has been going I am not going to hold my breath.

Neffarious · 09-28-2011, 10:12 PM

Wednesday night and... No car.

FFS man... If only I didn't love this car. Whats worse is the company shipping it to me is not responding to emails or phone messages. Can you imagine what is going through my head?

D_Day · 09-30-2011, 07:17 AM

Mines waiting for me at the dealer 3000 miles away - won't see it till the end of the month. If there's any life left hear I'll post some pics.

Sorry to hear your bad news fmcooper. Hope they get your car fixed up for you soon, and do a good job of it.
