Sunfire and 4 runner were parked (back of the 4runner was about where the knocked over tree was). But the 18yr old who's mom and dad just bought him the corvette last week - was only doing 70km/h y'know... Residential side street - playground not 100' away...





I don't see good future for the 4runner... When fire dept popped the hood (with an 8' prybar) I noticed the passenger side frame rail was buckled just in front of the engine mount... Winch almost looks good - except the motor seems to have an awkward bend to it now...

 

gosh dangit, what is with people and ruining perfectly good 1st gens. this is so much BS. That really sucks man, it doesnt look like you were as fortunate as Cymon. Hopefully you can get all the legal stuff straightened out and everything turns out okay.

 

Obviously the parents should have made a better judgement in giving their 18 year old a car that was beyond his driving skill and resposibilities.

 

What a DUMB ASS. I'm sorry for your loss. Hope everything gets worked out with insurance. I know that can be a big pain.

PS: Is that a C4 Vette with C5 wheels?

Rob

 

o that sucks

 

nope those are c4 wheels, little more curvature to them

I was a naive little douchebag when I was a kid driving, still like to drive fast now, but ive been on the track past 170mph too may times that I know how to drive

after that crash, they need to send their kid off to a defensive school for like a week and make him work to pay off the debt on that car too.

 

Hope you guys get everything straightened out. When i was 18 it was hard to push my car past 70, 4th gear was so messed up.

When i had a sporty car, i was scared at first, then i got the hang of it. I kept everything under control, never went fast because when i got it thats when gas prices starting going up.

 

when I was 17 my parents let me use (not have) there bmw...but i realized pretty quickly that i drove it way to fast, and luckily before i did anything like that i let me parents know what i thought and talked them into leting me buy my first yota! my friends called me an idiot for it..but oh well!

 

That vette looks dead too. I think all 3 vehicles were killed.

 

wrap ur a$$ in fiberglass and kiss ur a$$ goodbye

 

That should buff out....

 

Were in the middle? As in, the Vette pushed you into the Sunfire?

 

sorry about the idiot running into the runner, but do you want to sell the rear bumper?

 

another yota bites the dust

sorry to see bud, I hope this kid gets RAPED by insurance!

 

oh wow... this kid is screwed... parents dont buy your 18 year old kids sports cars.... please, my yota doesnt want to wind up like that one

 

I actually work for the Transit authority in the city this photo was taken.

I look after our GIS system which among other things has all our stops in a map database and one of our projects this year is to take photos of all our stops and link them to the stop points on a map for planning purposes,etc...

These photos are defintely going on our system!
hahahah

 

You can send my photo license fee to...

No not in the middle - Vette hit sunfire, sunfire hit 4runner (sunfire actually has 3 impact points - front, rear and side - not including tree damage to passenger door).

 

That's good. The person in the middle get's shafted everytime. Out of everyone, you will be the most taken care of, insurrance wise that is.

 

Meh... Death n destruction is pissing me off... So let's go back to the good ol days eh?


death of the nasty bumper:








Ahh we had a good few months... Waiting a solid month just for an estimate

 

If idiot parents would stop breeding the rest of us could afford insurance on those cars. Bastards!!

Wait...if idiot parents would stop breeding we probably wouldn't need insurance anymore. Oh the wheels in my head are turnin now baby!
