Latest Carnage Well this happened to today as I was in a left turn lane to turn left. I was doing about 20 or less in the lane, the strait lanes were backed up and a Toyota Avalon was cutting in front of a few in that lane to get in the turn lane. He plowed right in to my QP and right rear wheel and sent me into a fishtail, good thing I'm a good driver, or I'd have tagged some one else. Result of damage aside from the obvious is: the rear end is now shifted to the left, possible bent axel shaft, maybe the BMR LCA's and SLP SFC's. Also this threw my front alignment all off to. This is all the other dudes fault, and I thanked him for taking my car of the road for the next few months, or possibly forever if the damage to the framework is to bad fix.

I hate seeing stuff like this, hopefully he had insurance?? Either way it still sucks, even if the car is fixed it's still never going to be the same just cause you know what happend.. Make sure and take it to a reputible place to get it fixed so you know its done right. Best of luck man!!

Yeah, the car that tagged me was a dealership car and it was one of the lot guys driving it. Went to the dealer and the assistant manager is all about helping me out. He even asked me if the lot guy was screwing around or blasting music or something, all I could say was "not that I could tell." Regardless, that dude will probably get fired. I just hope everything will get back together right, I've already cope with the "it's been wrecked before". Took out a tree with the front end 2 years ago. I'm taking it back to the people who fixed it last time.
