I guess it happens to all of us. I'm just glad that it was during the winter. I t-boned this girl cause she failed to yeild at a stop sign. Since my bro's fixing it, I'll make some extra off the insurance and that means I get to upgrade. I'm gettin a RSM cf hood, 18" Konig Holes (Graphite), EBC Rotors, and a cf spoiler. By summer I should also have a bodykit. Heres a few pics of the wrecked GA:

NOOOOO!!! It better not! Although with all the problems I have had with my car, I believe my car is cursed. It's in the shop as I type this to get several parts replaced.
Glad your ok though.

#*@! women drivers !!!!!
I hate being sexist and all, but *iagree*
Here in Toronto, they seem to be generaly slow to react. But, I have trained myself to notice them on the road so that I can keep my distance :D
My 1991 bonnie was totaled by a woman last year, I actually flipped a couple of times, and yet nothing happened to me...
I was going past an intersection on a green light, while she was turning left from the opposite direction, she thought her car is SUPER quick, and that she will just fly by before i get there, lil' did she know that she was gonna smash right into my side!
Just remember folks, around every corner there is a woman driver waiting to !@#% u up!
BTW - The insurance company gave me 4.5k CDN for that bonnie (1991 SSE that was this >< close to completely dying on me!)

Yes a males insurance. What i really don't get is the fact the male teenagers have higher insurance than girls. Cause they obviously can't drive worth ****.

Ya, I went to pick him up after the accident. It was pretty bad. The radiator that was pushed in almost hit the engine. Very close call.

Oh she stopped at it. I didn't have a stop sign, and she didn't wait for me to pass, so the ticket was failure to yield.

the ds headlite had a hairline fracture (replaced the whole thing), and the front cover was bent up. so i quess you can have the light.

I think that the best part about all of this is that my bro just started working for a GM dealership bodyshop. So, he's getting all the new parts at cost, even cheaper than used stuff.

Please don't start a black curse now! :(
Her fault. Depends how far away you were, for her to make a "safe" crossing and all that. But regardless of that, if you had no stop sign, and she did, it should have been her fault. I don't think they could rule in the "you didn't have your car under control" there.

ok, i guess i didnt mention that i already got all the money from her insurance, over 6 g's.

well, the frame shop is held up on some back-ordered support rail. they also found some more structural damage. my bro's doin the body and paint work for free, so i'll have to pay for the frame and parts.
parts were around $1200 minus the cf hood.

Wow. $1200 IS alot of money, but in retrospect does not seem so bad. I remember when I got T-Boned at an intersection (pickup truck ran a red light), i got hit right above the right wheel. I though maybe $3000 to fix. Go tthe estimate, and with all the "unseen" problems after they got into it, it was $7650 or so, plus the $1000 for me to rent a car for a month until they fix it. Thank God for insurance (his paid everything!!). Looks good now, but has never been the same as before it was hit. Good luck with your fix, and it sure is handy to know body and pain t people!

I am surprised they didn't total the car... My friend had the same thing happen to him, but they totaled it, and he got a new car...

That's actually what I wanted to happen with mione, but the insurance company would not do it. In fact, in order to keeo the price under the amount to total the car, there were some places that they used Refurbushed parts (grrrr!). Couldn't do a damn thing about it, totally ligit (I asked a lawyer and all), as long as they warrranteed them as new, which they did. Accidents suck!

Woot, the curse is off us silver car's...not before claiming mine =/.....
Ouch, that car looks rough, luckily nothing happened to you.
Question though, what colour 'was' the curse on before? hehe

You know, as much as I love the Grand Am , I was kinda hoping that it was totalled. I've kinda been looking around for a new car, an nice import, maybe a 3000gt vr-4.
