Had a little wreck today with the solara

Had a little wreck today with the solara

Postby Solorange » Thu Feb 02, 2006 10:39 pm

So today when I was going out to get lunch and I hit a Sheriff. We were both at fault but of course I got sited for it. We barely hit each other but my solara took all the damange and his car got none. Go figure. Well luckly the paint wasn't scratched at all, but it broke my corner light and put a dent in the side of the bumper. Really minor stuff. As soon as I got home today I rubbed the scratches out. I also took off my front bumper to pop out the dent. Lucky me he only bent the bracket connecting from the front bumper to the passenger quarter panel. I was able to bend the brack straight again and push out the quarter panel a bit. I put it all back together and no more dent! You guys wouldn't know the difference now. Only if i told you. So now I got to buy a new corner light and its all done. The only thing that sucks now is that i have to pay a $104 ticket and probably pay higher insurance.

Here are some pictures of the damage. Its kindof hard to see it, but its there.

Actually where the UC is located is in the ghetto. When most of my friends get in wrecks down there the other person usually runs off or doesn't has insurance. So of all the people i think a cop would be my best bet if I were to have claimable damage. As far as clear corners. I already have a pair and I actually put them on for now. I took them off before because I dont think they look good on my car because of the color.

sorry for your accident

when i got my solara i back into security car on campus that was really stupid. I had an indent on the corner my bumper, but in the morning the dent on the bumber was gone (i guess change in the tepm made it fix itself). So now i just have a few scratches and a dent on my rear fended right where it connects to the bumper.

Have any of you tried touch up paints? Does it work?

good to hear that you are ok though. You could dispute it in court, although the judge will probably side with the law.... damn system!

I had a similar dent in the same location as you... But Im afraid of removing the bumper... lmao, I know.... silly...

Uh... actually it was Eric Clapton ;)

Sux about the ticket tho - especially is he was partially at fault! I'd try to fight it so it doesn't affect your ins.

How did it happen? Did piggy slam on the brakes or what?

Yeah, and you don't stop,
cause it's 1-8-7 on a motherfuckin cop

3 and to the 2 and 2 and to the 1,
Head away, sent away, get away Solorange got top gun,
And he's lookin' for the cops that wrote him up da tix,
Now it's time to put they ass in the mix.
Back on the streets with my pimpin' azz So-lar,
Lookin' to burn the hell out of a cop car.

Nuts full of cavi and I'm headed for the bar.

Actually, it's a Bob Marley song. Clapton recorded it several years after Marley did.

Well I was in the middle of the city, by campus and me and buddies were going out to lunch. My one buddy need to get some money at the atm. The atm we went to was just outside a building so I pulled up to it and sat on the side of the road, for a brief minute. All the parking was taken so I just pulled to the curb which is a left turn lane for an intersection. I pull back far enough to let traffic go by with ease. People do it all the time. My buddy gets back in the car and the light turned green at the intersection. The cop was in the straight lane and I was getting behind him once he passed me. But then he just cut across me going left and we just clipped each other. If he was going straight we would have not even hit. He did fail to use a turn signal and so did I. Also I was parked illegally in the street, so I got sighted. Im talking to my friend who is a lawyer to see if I have a good chance to fight it. So far it looks like people are saying to just pay it cause it will just piss of the law, and I was in the wrong since I didn't properly park my car.
