I was in a car accident today. No injuries but the front of the Celica doesn't look so good.... I am really bummed about the big meet this weekend.

That sucks man. You were the main reason I was planning on going to the meet. I hope everything works out.

Thanks guys. The damage doesnt look so bad. But, its pretty bad. I will need new hood, bumper, both high beams are broken...I am not sure what else will need to be replaced. The airbag did not deploy and my intercooler and piping were not touched.

It was my fault....I was coming up to a stoplight and my floormat got stuck under my gas pedal. I was fooling with it and the guy in front of me stopped suddenly. I was only travelling about 3-5mph but I ran into the back of a dodge pickup with my nose diving from breaking. I essentially went under his bumper at a low speed. The crash sound was not a loud bang....it was like a slow crunch.

I guess this is my opportunity to make the car even better....

jay i have a passengerside high if you need one >smile.gif>
Sucks that its your fault.. But you're lucky too.

Mine ruined my GT4 molded hood, and two headlights.. and zyclone bumper.. and both z3 fenders. And I was parked >frown.gif>

Her insurance is going to probably either give me about 1/2 what it will cost to fix it, or total it..

I have two good drivers sides lights that will be available when my JDMs come in. Let me know if you want them
