As the title says...I had my 5 year old son and pregnat g/f with me....evedently 2 cars in front of me stopped suddenly for some reason...and I didn't have enough room to stop so I swerved to avoid rear ending someone and curbed my car and was saved from hitting a tree by an RV....had a few people walk up ato see if we were ok and that they saw what happened...and when the cops showed up...they were all gone...were all fine...I have pics but can't post them on the thread...anyone lend a hand

 

Everyone okay? That's what matters

 

That sucks.. As long as everyone is ok who cares.. the car can be fixed...

 

pics? that sucks

 

I got 5 of em....where do I post them on the tread...I'm not allowed to "post attachments"...

 

I sent you a pm.

 

get an account on like photobucket or something and load your pics on there, then it will give you a "url" and other codes to post pics onto websites, then just copy and paste them on here.

glad to hear everyone is okay though.

 

I think it's far from totalled, but I could be wrong

o ****.. that sucks man... glad to hear you're alright though.. good luck

 

damn...sorry to hear that...i keep having bad luck like that with my cobalts too...lol at least that RV saved you from that tree!!!

 

im glad everyone is ok....man that must have been a scare for you....the car dont look too bad....i would say in parts that would be about 400-600

 

I think it's far from totalled, but I could be wrong[/QUOTE]


Thats what I'm hoping for....I just put a K&N CAI like two weeks ago...and the funny thing...I got my tags for them the same day...

 

unless you go the ebay way and get them for around 200-400

 

..you aren't kidding...the owner of the rv called me a lil while ago to see if everyone was ok...talked with him for a few min...he was pretty cool...I'm suppost to hear from my insurance company today...but they won't be able to see the car till tuesday.....

 

Looks like hood, light, fender, bumper...

Possible: Tie rod, half shaft, wheel, control arm.. etc etc. Can't see so well since the wheel is up against the rv.

Did you get ticketed then? My brother had the same thing happen but he slammed into the back of the car infront of him and they wrote my brother the ticket for falling to close and speeding.

 

No....the car I was behind was about 5 car lengths ahead of me....he just stopped that quick....and as for the under area...I poped the hood....its half shaft...antiroll bar and bushing....the tierods looked ok but I think the rack got bent a lil....the claytic converter and pipe...the engine was running fine....no dummy lights...and idled good and strong...thats all I got a look at before we had to go...oh..and there is a dent on the right side on the roof near the corner of the sunroof....I'm thinking unibody damage also...it doesn't curb slide to well...lol

 

you got lucky its not that bad i pictured a lot worse. Most importantly you are safe.

 

Oh...and I forgot to mention..the air bags didn't deploy...

 

well airbags are expensive so that can be a good and bad thing

 

yeah...if they had...I'm sure it would be totaled...

 

Good thing is it sounds like the cops were in a nice mood. It doesn't matter how many car lengths back you are, if you can't stop before hitting him they can nail you for following too close, reckless driving, etc.

Count your blessings that no one was hurt, and that they didn't give you a handful of tickets as to pay on top of your deductible.

 

what's with these cars and the airbags not deploying?????????? and >_< looks nasty hope it's not totaled

 

Your damage doesn't appear to be near the airbag sensors, and the airbags won't deploy if your speed at time of impact is less than 39 mph. (for most vehicles its 39, diff vehicles and manufactures have different specs, but 39 is an average #)

Airbags are meant to save someone's head/appendages/body from going through the steering wheel, not to have a soft landing for a little bump'n' rubbin.

 

tell them you need another trunk lid and spoiler... then send it to me

 

...I'll try...but I doubt they will...
