A little bit of a Big Boo-Boo

Well last week someone hit my sister. I'd have pictues up if I could figure out how to post them. If some was kind enough to get it done for me I will email them to ya. Thanks. My sister is okay the car got totaled. Its being hauled off tomorrow.

:feedback:

what happened?

I can do it for you

In an automotive forum ... someone has to ask ...

Who cares about your sister, What kind of vehicle was she driving?




















J/K ... hope she's not hurt. Cars are hunks of metal and can be replaced ... people can't.

My sister's car:2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 4DR
Some girl tried making a left turn off of a side street but apparently failed to see my sister some how. But it was about 150 yards from the front of the police station. The cop said the gal that hit her tried to blame it on my sister. Direct quote from the officer(keep in mind he must have been in his mid-late 50s) to my sister "girlfriend over there is trying to blame this whole thing on you."LMFAO. Raz I sent them to your hotmail address. Thanks a lot for helpin me out buddy.

I forgot to mention possible replacement options/situations. The best thing that can happen is that I get used truck of my own.
1. I get a 96 F-150 Regular Cabs 4X4 with 5.8L or 97 F-150 Supercabs w/ Third door with 5.4L 4X4. Therefore my dad will keep his ride a 98 Buick LeSabre, my mom will keep her ride 04 Camry LE 3.0L Auto, My sister will get my car. This is the least likely as well.
2. My sister gets a new Prius everyone else keeps their ride.
3. My mom gets a Yukon or Tahoe my sister keeps mom's camry I keep my camry dad keep lesabre.
4. My mom or sister gets the new car, me and dad keep our rides.
Both truck and SUVs will also get a 2 horse stock trailer to be towed with.
The replacement will be used unless my sister gets a prius. I am hoping for the first one to be the plan of action but that won't happen most likely cause nothing that good ever happens w/o something worse happening to me. As much as I love the Camry I am just a truck kind of guy.

when you said hit i thought you smacked her or something lol

sorry it took a while

Thanks for post Raz I appreciate it. Definitely hit me up if your in my neck of the woods I'll get some beer and we can shoot the breeze.

I'm confused ...

How does the car get replaced with that damage? There is not much there, from what I can see from the pics.

It's a Pontiac....

low build quality + minimal damage = totalled

BTW, j/k :p

little bit of bondo and sanding, that beast should be good as new. but i dont blame him for wanting it to be totaled out. who wants a pontiac?

those trucks he mentioned though.........nice!

Yeah, the damage does not appear to be a lot, surprised that it got totalled. But I guess getting a new car is a lot better than trying to repair this one.

the damge looks minimal, unless it wiped out the whole passenger side rear wheel. if it damaged the rear axle, thats where I could see alot of time and maintenance, if the rear drive needs to be totally replaced. but from the photos, it look slike that might not be the case, plus, since the photos are really really small. its ahrd to see the full detail.

The rear axle was completely bent. They adjuster was surprised it wasnt towed to the body shop. The replacement vehicle is probably going to be a 00-03 Yukon/Tahoe and a stock trailer. Pictures will be up as soon as the truck arrives at the barn. I will get pictures but not with our own trailer yet. That will be a month or two away since it costs 5k for a decent stock trailer.

Yeah; you can see in the pic how the back wheel is leaning; it's toast.

Glad your sis is ok.

Glad your sis is ok.
Me too.

This is my top choice in stock trailer http://www.mheby.com/Bumper%20Hitch.htm . I am still trying to locate a Yukon.

lol, at first I thought you meant somebody actually hit your sister, but then when you said the car was totalled, I thought you meant someone ran her over, and I was DAMN, that must be one BIG sister!

Glad shes alright. Car accidents suck. Especially when the dumb "sista over there" tries to blame it all on you. thats what the dumb sista did to me. But it was too obviously her fault. Must be the same in this case.

Yeah. Your car looks alot worse then my sister's.
My mom ordered a stock trailer today this it what she ordered http://www.wranglertrailers.com/bumper.html . The options we got where chrome wheels, 7' height, and 6'6" width, Spare rim and tire. Dimensions are 14'X6'6"X7' weighs it at about 3500lbs empty.

Well mom went to look earlier this week nothin. But the local dealer called her they got a Z71 Tahoe. It may be here tonight. If it is I will get pictures and have them posted. The trailer order was cancelled because we are going to see if we can find something already on the Island since show season is coming and trailers are being sold and traded in.

Mom bought the truck it will be here next week and so will pictures. I am really excited.
