Unhappy I crashed my cobalt (PICS)

Damages are about $4400 and another 3600 in cost to fix it. To simply explain i lost control of my car after trying to avoid hitting kids crossing the street in a non crosswalk section. Im just glad no one got hurt and i got out on my own. By the way i hit a guardrail and spun about 540*.

(UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 3)


The nite of . . .


Day after front




the rear

sad part is if he would of hit them.. and happen to **** there world up even tho they werent crossing at a cross walk... he would get fucked over and sued for everything hes got plus some...

had a similar experience in my cavy... had to swerve a kid that crashed on his bike in the middle of the road cause he tried to cross instead of waiting a couple seconds..... only thing i could do was pull to the left and ramp up a 2 foot curb

I'm surprised that it didn't total. Mine was technically totaled and it didn't seem near that bad.

Well I ended up getting the car for $4500, and it's in the shop right now. So I'm actually pretty happy.
