So ive been gathering parts in the past months for my 2.8h build and tommorow i was supposed to order the remainder of them but i will be set back a little due to this fender bender. The driver of the other car signaled right and started turning so i decided to pass her thru the left then all of a sudden she decides she wants to go left so i go back into my lane since she was already halfway turnig left then all of a sudden she decides to completley stop i didnt even get to brake i wasnt expecting her to stop i mean she was clear to go but i end up rear ending her sending her thru a fence and into a tree,. nothing happned to me however she was taken in a stretcher because she wasnt wearing her seatbelt and slammed into her steering wheel and airbag, i only have liability so i have to pay out of my pocket fortunate for me my dad owns a body shop so no biggie lol here are some pics of the aftermath

Glad you are okay, however I have never understood why people feel the need to not use their brakes and slow down if someone is turning in front of them on a 2 lane road like that. It happens everyday to me and if I am not paying attention to the drivers behind me I could decide to continue going straight, scare the shit out of them and cause an accident.

uh, that's more than a 'fender bender'. glad you have a parent that can do body work, but you should never have a car like this on liability only, unless its a car you would simply 'discard' in the event of an accident. i wouldn't be surprised if your car never drives the same again. sorry, that sucks--

How old are you? Sounds like you're kinda young to have a car like that. Yes, there are very few responsible teenagers/young adults driving terminators, but most truly need to stay away from a car like that.

I have to give you props for manning up, and taking responsibility for your own lapse in judgment - regardless of your age!:beer: Too many guys are "faultless" when this kind of thing happens. Always someone else's fault.:rollseyes Good luck with the repair. It doesn't look any worse off that it was the first time, so you should be good to go in a short while.
