Default so got into an accident

was leaving school. going down a 4 lane road, 2 each way. i was in the right land, and were just going ya know no problems. and out of no where a suv runs the stop sign on the complete other side (far left) and hits the guy in front of me. i slammed on my brakes, and the guy behind me was right on my ***, so he destroyed his car running into me (porshe). i didnt really have any damage, my right muffler was like pushed forward, so now it looks awkward. and my bumper is a little bent in a few places.
the guy in the SUV who initially caused it to start, RAN. yes a hit and run. cops got him about 2 miles down the road. if he was drunk, I dont know. i let my mom take care of it all i just listened. sucks though because 1 minute before it happened getting in my truck, im on the phone ' yeah yeah ill be at the beach in 15 mins ' (it was 85 degrees here today) 1 minute later BAM. there went an hour of beach time.




sorry about 2nd pic. 1st was on my friends phone. as you can see my right muffler is like farther in. stare close enough and you can see my bumper has a few dings.

ahh my dad will have fun tomororw bitching out the insurance!

yeah they cant be cheap. i was researching just for fun to see what it would run him to fix it, the front bumper alone i found was 6k, without labor.

cant imagine everything else.

NICE. once again it doesnt pay to own an import. they are either complete garbage or cost your first born son to fix.

Dude that sucks for you and for the porche. They might be expensive to fix but if you have 80k to blow on a car I would hope you would have the money to fix it...

someone once hit me in my 87 jeep cherokee, this thing was a huge POS, i had it lifted on 33's.... anyway, the car wasnt prolly worth 1200 bucks but the woman (go figure) who hit me was driving a lexus. i made such a huge fuss (on purpose, it was all her fault) that she cut me a check for 800 greebacks and left. god bless being a dick.

80K? try 130k... its a porsche turbo, but still that sucks for him, although his insurance will likely pay for it... but still i hate accidents but at least your truck was still driveable, unlike his car

hopefully you get a lot of money so you can do some more mods

yeah, what I WANT TO DO, is if say i get 2k for everything. just saying as an estimate, dont know until saturday when i go to dodge and get it estimeated. well, say i get 2k. the bumper im not worried about it, i can pop it out myself or have a friend help me. the only thing im worried about is underneath. my muffler was pushed in, and i dont know if that messed anything up that its connected to. if so, ill get that fixed with part of the *2k*, pocket the rest, and mod the baby.
