DodgeForum.com - Looking for a complete nose for 99 Voyager SE

just picked up the kids from Karate class. As I went through a green light at about 20 mph attempting to turn left, a car load of kids ran the light and hit the old crappy mini van at about 35 mph. He was cooking pretty good .. all I saw was green flash .. ofcourse I hit the brakes but it was already too late. Luckily, there was a lady EMT at the stop light opposite of the guy who hit me. She saw everything and told the cops what happened.

My girls were a little scared at first but I quickly got them quieted down. THe mini van is screwed up pretty good. Body damage is decent, fender, hood, grille, bumper cover, radiator. The cross member on the top/front of the frame are bent and there may be steering column issues .. couldnt get the key out .. the real pain in the but is now I will have to drive the Mega cab ... gonna rape me in gas ... dont have a "no bike day" alternative , well I do ..but like I said gas $$$$$.

But the big lesson here is, I could have been on the bike. I was riding just a few minutes before. I will now also do a quick head check to the left and right before proceding through green lights. That practice my help, but I dont think it would have in this case due to the lay out of the corner. To my left was a building that blocks a clear view of the oncoming street. No matter what I would have been out there before I saw him and I would have been street pizza for sure.

Im hopin that they will fix the van ... but with 206k on a 99 Voyager, I think that doubtful and the money for totalling it will be nothing. Damn !!!!
