Crushed!!!

For those of you that did not attend the RCCAZ XMAS/BDAY gathering this weekend, here are pics of me getting hit at a red light by a tractor-trailer. >$4500 damage.

more detail

Side-by-side, he was in left turning lane, wanted to turn left at the next light, so upon green, he pulled out and was cited for improper lane change. so WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BLIND SPOTS!!!!!

the ouch part is that the quater panel has to be cut and welded to the frame. but i picked a good body shop, 45 miles away from where I live. I wouldn't trust my baby with ne1 else!

For you RCCAZ members, I chose the body shop we visited, Finishing Touch! (no way affiliated except being a customer).

so sorry to hear about this and hope u get ur car fixed soon... from the looks of the damage and the diagram, looks like the other guy was looking over his right shoulder and not to his immediate front right. what a freaking moron that guy- not to mention he was making illegal lane change to begin with...

Damn Pret! Glad you made it out ok. Sorry bout your baby. I always figured it be the front of your car to see the first damage. j/k Seriously though that sucks. I talked to 09 last night and he mentioned you taking her to Finishing Touch. Please let me know how it turns out since that's the same shop I was planning on using next year.

Intresting to see how crinkled the trunk tub is. Considering it dosen't "look" to bad with the trunk shut and rear bumper on...
So WTF was he thinking when he pulled this stunt? Dosen't the solid wht line mean Don't cross you stupid F**k?

She's in good hands though.

Owie! So sorry Pret. I feel your pain. Not something any of us want to experience. She'll be back good as new in no time.

I asked them to save the whole light unit for you!
Yes, it is in good hands. After visiting them with RCCAZ, I always said if in an accident, THAT is who will repair it. And it is probably the cheapest vechile there
