Smoothline crashed :(

[SmoothLine]

Yeap, last night driving home in the rain, some moron came towards me from the opposite direction, i had to turn left into gravel to avoid the head on, slid through gravel, into a grass ditch, slid hard left, corrected right , looked up and hit a pole

Hit was at about 40kmh with car on 30degree angle...

Damage looks awful, fron bar was ripped off and smashed to peices.. Bonnet is smashed in... I cbf talking about it now

[jlnewton]

That is some serious hard luck. I take that it goes without saying the guy going in the other direction didn't stop. Any witnesses?

Hope the car comes back to life soon, it was a nice looking machine.

[Spook's_Skyline]

that fully sux man

hope its mainly cosmetic damage

[predator]

nooooooooooo.....

feel for you mate, I know what its like

pole.. ouch.. painful

[Nismo_Boy]

Not good to hear champ! lets hope its only cosmetic damage like spooks said.

[SmoothLine]

Thanks for the kind words guys...

JL: Nope no one stopped and no whitnesses. Two people even drived right by while I was picking up the headlight and frontbar...

Unfortunately its not just cosmetic, the front bumper (steel bar) has taken the hit and its all smashed back a few inches, its even bent right over the intercooler piping...

[qikr33]

ohh man that sux couldnt have happened to a nicer guy

[Nexus9]

Shit that is no good.

Bet you were praying for rain too.

I got hit up the back the last time we had a lot of rain but it was only cosmetic damage, no structural damage luckily.

I was so pissed off and that was only minor, so I can only imagine how you feel

Hope it all turns out for the best.

[Ska]

Very bad luck! Stupid poles, they always jump out at ya at the wrong times!

Hope it's back up and running smoothly asap!

[Bobjones]

Hard luck champ.

Hope you know a good repairer that will do the job right!!!

[knore]

damn it!

i had chills when i read your story, because its similar to what happened to me about 3 months ago. My car is almost fixed now, i was very lucky to just do what you did but not hit a pole. In the end my little accident cost me well over $4K

But i am getting some extra bits put on aswell

I feel for you man, and i can honestly say, i know exactly how it feels and what your going through.

Whatever you do, dont sit there and think 'i should of done this, i should of turned this way etc etc etc' all it does is eat you up. Whats done is done, there is no changing it

Hope its back on the road soon,

Did it hit the IC?

[Genesis®]

sorry to hear abt your car. glad to know that you got outa the accident in 1 piece though.

[cameron]

bugga!

hope you get your car back on the road soon

[Zoix]

**** man. carbon fibre bonnets are cheaper then the orginal also. so maybe you'll get some plus's outta it.

bad luck though.

[MELV]

damm it man that sucks.

sorry to hear.

i hope you can get in fixed asap

[NismoGirl]

Is it fixable? I hope you have insurance Smoothline. I know theirs no hope in finding the other culprit, but still. Paying $1500 in excess is better than having to fork out the extra $$ to get it fixed.

I have never actually seen your car but I've been told it was nice.

What posesses people to act like spastics in the rain??

I swear it's the female driving population that causes most of the accidents... (did I just open a can or worms?? )

[sweetr33]

unlucky champ, sucks to be a victim of someones elses stupidity, not that its happened to me thanx god. Hope all goes well with the repairs.

[MJ]

shit man im sorry that it was such a nice car too.

i cant believe the prick didnt stop i hope karma gets them good!

[predator]

If you got their plates.. you can report them for "failing to stop at the scene of an accident". Its actually law that they do offer assistance, if others have not already done so.

But i'm sure you then and now have more important things to worry about.

[SmoothLine]

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone, nice to see we have a great group here...

Erin: I wont be going through insurance because it's a $2000 excess and my premium would go through the roof So far it looks like around a $3k job... It could have been much worse.

Gordo: Nah didnt get plates, it all happened in a flash!! No one even stopped when i was in a ditch picking up peices of the car!!! Couldnt believe it...

Im pretty sore and i will be even more so tommorrow, i got flung a bit to the left...

Im sourcing out a Top Secret Front bar, so if anyone knows where I could find one let me know... I guess it saves me having the old one's cracks repaired now!
