Unhappy Wrecked my camaro Update(pics)



Yeah shes no longer that pretty. I'm alright no injuries. Its mostly front end damage. The hood both fenders and windshield were all damaged. The airbags did not go off and it still started afterwards so those are bothe good news. At this point I don't think it will be totalled out but I don't know alot about body work. I don't have any pics yet but hopefully in the next couple days I can swing by and get some pics of the damage. Thanks to john(02silvaZ) and jacob (staringback05) for stopping and making sure I was alright, it was a sad sight for the eyes but I appreciate it.


P.S. Anyone in the orange park/Jax area know of any good body shops?

Violation of right of way. I believe he said it was $188 ticket and 4 points. I'm proably going to take the driving class to keep the points off.

Since I forgot this in the orginal post heres how it happened.

I was stoped at a stop sign waiting to take a left out of a parking lot across 2lanes of traffic to get into the meidan and then finish my way across. There was a big fedex truck with his signal on to turn in so I proceed across not seeing the chevy truck in the other lane then BAM. First word out of my mouth was SHIIIIIIIIT!

There was a wrecker that stoped when the accident first happened and just kinda blocked off the road and helped clean up some of the debris. He also said to go to fleming island auto body. I'm gonna have to look around and try and look at some of these shops work. I'm sure in the next couple days I'm going to here about atleast a dozen different shops to take it to.

if you are staying with the color black, be careful who you take it to. not everyone can do a perfect black repaint. i made the mistake of taking my h.o. hood to someone other than the guys at fleming and it turned out not so good. whish i had spent the few extra $$ and had them do it.
the guy who does all the painting owns an f body. he did a really nice flame job to his car (if your into that). Doc is the one who turned me on to them.

WELLLLLLL

it was a sight, i ran freakin code from old jennings to the wreck only to get beat by a FHP unit sittin around the corner....

i saw your car earlier today when i was patroling and i was just like hmm now i know where he works, and as soon as i heard it go out....i knew it had to be yours, it sucks...

theres not much that could have been done for the ticket however....needless to say i wrote 3 more damn acidents the rest of the day till now....you jinxed me....

however as long as the corp support and frame are ok....it should take that long or be that bad...the hood is what sucks....time for a aftermarket
