Not as good as it sounds. I was attempting to merge onto the interstate when some lady in a cavalier didn't stop behind me. Not sure what is going to happen yet other than she is paying for it. I hope they total it but if they do I think I'm trading it in because once wrecked it's never the same. Damn I loved this little car!!! Be on the look out for parts for sale.

This is another shot. It really sucks because I saw this coming. Not once did she look front to see if I was still there.

that is some serious suckage.hope/glad you are ok.

noone hurt right? that's like what mine looked like and more my total repair bill from the shop was around $2k after it was all said an done If you trade I call first dibs on the headlight covers

Yeah luckily no one was hurt, but I think it's goning to be over $2K. The whole rear is crinkled the whole way to the roof. And the head light covers are yours if you want but the one side was blown off at a car wash and has a nice crack in it, but still works on the car.

sucks man... hope they can repair it to better then before, if not what will you look at geting?know what you mean bout a car never being the same.Good luck on the situation.

yeah I KNOW that will be well over what mine was hahathe bumper alone is around $475

damn that must have hurt, shadow! not physically, but it sucks when your car gets crunched like that.sorry to hear. glad everyone's ok, though

Oh I'm sorry... Glad to hear no one got hurt.

wow she got you good man, hope everything goes good thats going to be some pretty fun body work

OUCH. man that sucks. i hope you get the $$ you deserve for that. how's your neck?? and like mrizzle said, what else are you thinkin of gettin??

Sorry about the carnage. Looks very repairable though.

[QUOTE=RedFire2K]sorry to hear about it..sometimes i wonder how 25% of people get their license..just sucks for us good drivers when the stupid ones hit you[/QUOTEFor me,more then 25%,maybe they buy their license. All the accident i get ,i was never have been the responsible.

Sorry to see that on your vibe,that sucks

ya i feel ya polo..i've been in 2 and both were stupid things too..even a monkey could stop at a light when another car in front of them were stopped for more then 5 seconds..

Dont' get too excited dude, I don't see a total loss there. From what I can see, it's 3 panels: hatch, rear quarter, and rear fascia. If there is no structural damage (or if it is not significant), I can't see it being totaled. ESPECIALLY if the airbags didn't blow (which they obviously wouldn't have). Airbags are an almost guaranteed total.

Well guys I went and talked to the estimater at lunch, since they are 2 seconds down the road from my work. The damage comes to $5600.00 and I have to hear from the insurance company to find out but it sounds like it's good for rebuild. They had to find out where I got my roof covers since they have to remove them to fix the damage and if the break one they want to replace them. Hope they can still get them. I'm goning to take in my mid-wing and side skirts and have them estimated to install since they are repainting half the car anyway. Looks like I maybe keeping her afterwards.

Good news! so I guess you'll be hanging on to those headlight covers then huh? haha

sorry to hear bout all that...are you getting your stock side skirts painted? or are they aftermarket?

dayum! that's some mad cash! but coulda been a lot more, glad you get to keep the ride.

Yeah I might keep them for a while yet, unless I get it back and don't like something then I will strip her down. The side skirts are from the street-graffiti kit, purchased them from Nopi for a really cheap price.

SOoooo, do you have the stock ones still or at all?If you do, maybe you can sell those for a decent price to make some money to paint yours?

My car never came with side skirts!!

Darnit! my didnt either, was hoping yours did... i really want some. Oh well, good luck with the fix.

yea that hit did some serious damage not only to the body, it also got the gas tube to the tank, most probably the left frame.

The estimator said it just missed the frame. Said she went right over top of it. I guess I'm kind of glad I'm lowered.

Well it's been almost 20 days since my accident and I drove past the garage today. My vibe has not moved since it's been there. I did happen to notice another vibe sitting across from it that had some serious front end damage. Wonder if this is my donor car? Well since it's been there I thought I might as well give them all my other body parts to see about getting them put on since they are repainting most of the car. But they still have yet to quote me on those parts. Looks like I'm also going to pick up the bumper that was on ebay last week.

I don't think you shouldn't have a "donor" car. You should be getting new parts. I know how you feel not having your car. I hated not having mine and mine was only in the shop for 11 days. What bumper are you getting? I'm guessing you got the one to match your skirts?

Yeah it's from the Street Graffitti kit, and a guy here in PA was listing the skirts and bumper, but I just need the bumper. I'm going to meet him half way and he's charging $120. A GREAT DEAL.

cool! are you going to finish it with the front one sometime down the road?it'll be neat to see that kit on somthing besides a satellite vibe... not saying there's anything wrong with satellite tho

I don't want that front end. I don't like the 05-06 front end. I'm collecting body pieces from the fronts to try and make a custom front end. I want the look of the GTR or autcross vibe, but I want to keep away from the grills pushed the whole way to the front flush look. I like them sunkin in.

Well the insurance company says that my car is supposed to be ready tomorrow. I have not heard anything from the actual garage that I had it taken to. And they never quoted me on getting the extra body parts put on.

i know the feeling to that too..when i got into a fender bender, my rear bumper was finished and so were my lights, took them about 35 days to just get a bumper and repaint them..was pathetic, my second accident i actually took to my dealerships bodyshop..and they fixed it in 2 days for me
