Here is what happened on Friday.
I was stopped in bumper to bumper traffic and the guy behind me hit me going about 45 mph. He hit me so hard that it knocked me into the jeep in front of me an ruined the front also. I couldn't get to the front of the car today to capture a shot but maybe I can get one on Monday.

To keep from SNAPPING i just stayed away. You want to best reason to get totally drunk and die.... I called his insurance company yesterday..... Cancelled over a month ago. If Icould go back to Friday, I would be in jail for domestic violence.

I'm debating whether that intercooler serves a purpose or is fake...

Oh man so sorry, this $hit pisses me off so ******g much, seriously, well 'cause I speak on personal experience. So r u fixing yourself or taking the a$$ court?? I dunno what 2 say, since I never even knew who hit me, ya know, he took off. But u got this a$$es name, so maybe u can do something?
Sorry, but it looks fixable, I fixed my front end before, I can see your hood is buckled, just like mine on my first accident, same type of shit. Guy had no insurance.
And the back, well u need a new bumper of course and maybe pound out the side.
Anyway, just trying 2 help, hope u have no frame damage.
Good luck.

I'm ok physically. Mentally I feel raped. Now I am stuck with a Pontiac God Am rental. Going to switch to GF's Neon on monday to save on rental cost.

Well the back door is open because once I opened it get the car seat out, it wouldn't close. It is an accordian now. They will have to strech it out. I also hope that to much rain hasn't gotten into the car. Sure don't want to smell mold the rest of the time I own it.

Thanks to all for the support. I don't think I have a choice but to get a lawyer. Sure my insurance will cover it, but that doesn't make it right with me.

I'm glad they came up with 'uninsured motorist' coverage..

..all I can say is, screw OEM, now is the time to get Euro parts!

All that matters is that you are ok...glad you're still here..[thumb]

Damn, that sucks dude sorry.

Do I hear a neck/back injury?? After two accidents(not my fault) that left me with nothing I feel sorry for the person who hits me next!! I can't stand ppl who sue(mainly for nothing), but after two it's time I get mine.

Well the guy who has the policy on the car (Lets just call him Grandpa) gives me the sob story about being on fixed income and he would help if he could. I finally got an estimate from the Ford Collision Center and they gave a rough estimate of $9127 before teardown. He said that the rear floor pan is bowed and the left Sub frame rail is bent and from what he can tell the radiator is bent but not sure how bad. So they would have to add to it if they found more damage after removing parts.
Wonder what the chances of finding another 04 ZX5 Sonic Blue out there would be?
