The Accident

On September 11th '09 i ended up rear ending a driver who was not paying attention to stopped traffic in front of them. I wasn't able to see the stopped line of traffic around them until they went off the road to avoid it leaving me nowhere to go except into the back of them or oncoming traffic. They took full responsibility for the accident when asked by the officer on the scene. The insurance company gave me basically what I bought the 4Runner for a year ago. I only cracked the fan shroud, smashed the airbox, and did a ton of body damage.



The Aftermath

After the accident I ended up driving it around for a few months in its fenderless state, with a ghetto rigged headlight and a big pull to the left. It was fine for around the town until I was able to find a new 4Runner. It now serves as a parts vehicle for my new 4Runner and eventually will be parted out completely.

Drove around like this for a while
