My Varment's first accident!

[Varment]

Well, I've owned my '68 Valiant for 13 years now with no accidents. Unfortunately, due to a woman's need to text while driving, my car is going to have to have the original Detroit steel replaced on the back end. Enjoy the pictures! Please share it!

I am in need of all the parts you see crunched! There will be a wanted ad in the right sub-forum for a full list.

Initial Damage:


After Repainting!

Ouch.....the crutch is not from the accident is it?

 

[Varment]

Funny you should ask...two months before ANOTHER woman not paying attention pulled out in front of me on my motorcycle and totaled the bike. Yes my luck is that bad right now!

 

[jd340]

Man that's just sickening! Sorry about your recent run of bad luck.

 

[inkjunkie]

Maybe you need to hide for a while? Was going to let you know about the trunk lid for sale but you already know....Best of luck in getting your baby all fixed....

 

[Varment]

I appreciate the heads up and please, everyone keep your eyes out for parts! I want to get her back on the road as soon as possible. She's my daily driver and already sick of having to drive something else.

 

[inkjunkie]

Are the tail lights ok? I might have a back bumper....

 

[moparmarkk]

just maybe its the uwf sticker?around here there uwf sticker ed cars seem to get hit,lol

 

[MTmopars]

That'll buff right out. Ouch

 

[Varment]

Haha Moparmarkk...What sucks is I do not even live down there anymore. I moved up to Detroit. Apparently all though they made cars here they do not know how to drive them.

Inkjunki - Taillights are great miraculously. How much do you want for the bumper and where are you located?

 

[Demon 408]

Ahhh... Pure Michigan!

 

[TrailBeast]

That's messed up.
She's paying for it right?

I certainly hope so. If she had insurance.

 

[hemitheus]

It's not. And here in Michigan the cop can check your phone, if involved in an accident, to see if you were texting.

 

[Varment]

From what I know, since I only had Liability on the car that her insurance is only required to pay up to $1000 in damages per a mini-tort law in Michigan...Does anyone know any different?

 

[Louie70Dart]

I wonder if you couldn't sue her in civil court for some thing?

Sue 'em. Does your insurance policy carry un/underinsured?

 

[Sedanman]

That sucks! I had the same thing happen to me but luckily her import folded and only damaged my bumper. It's a good thing I have a parts car for us both. It was good talking with you.

 

[Bad Sport]

Did she happen to get a ticket for texting. That might be in your corner if you decide to pursue it.

Stoopid F#**^# Cell phones,...Okay everyone , Leave the goddamn things at home before someone we all know and love is killed...

 

[MoparDaddy]

I'd say its opportunity to back half it

I am near Spokane Washington. Let me go out and take a look at it. I think it is straight but needs to be re chromed....Raining right now, will get a picture of it...

It's not the phone, it's the person. Maybe people should exercise a little more restraint and common sense.
