Messed up my Camaro (PICS) Going to school yesterday (half asleep), I was turning right at a + intersection. The road I was turning on to was really narrow and there was a big trucked stopped at the stop sign on the road I was turning on to. I slow down and start to turn, when the car on the other side of the intersection starts to pull out. He pulled out quickly and was coming right at me. I turn my head and turn slightly more to th right, and rub the guard rail as I was turning. The worst part, it was the jagged edge of the guard rail. The whole passenger door got a gash and the real panel got pushed in. Even worse, my right rear rim (brand new 2 week old rim) was destroyed and my tire had a hole the size of a baseball. After a moment in shock, I pulled over and got out and nearly throw up. Really bad day yesterday. It's really not that bad, but I need a new door, rim, tire, and maybe a rear panel.

good excuse to look for that ss those wheels were meant for... but that sucks.. i was distracted while making a right turn by a truck that was close to hitting me and i hit a 1 foot tall curb but luckily only scuffed the **** out of my rim.. which i dont care about anyway because they were the stock ws6 5 spokes not my good ones.

After the repairs, it looks like I'm going to be getting rid of the Camaro. I found a good deal on a higher mileage 1998 SS, so it looks like goodbye. Had a good year with that car and was a great experience to learn to drive with it. The car taught me how to respect parking, looking carefully(due to huge blind spots in the car), and how to drive in the rain. Great car to learn on because it wasn't the easiest to drive. Now I'm ready to move it and get an LS1!
