Thanks for the wake up call, Mum...

[Mrk_Mickey]

Argh what a nightmare! Look what I woke up to this morning







At about 6 45am a Toyota Camry was driving down my road and the lady driver says the sun was blocking her eyes so she couldn't see my car (parked, while I was fast asleep). She whacked it at the front left of her car, so her headlight and bumped got owned lol..but yeah my poor baby . The taillight was in more pieces than there are stars in the sky! Thankfully, the lady stayed there and we exchanged all sorts of details. She couldn't speak english though... .

My bloody mother nearly broke my door down to come in and wake me...it sounded like she'd been shot in the back! I suppose she knows how much i love this car lol.

So... Who knows a really good repairer??

[gtimk5]

Sheez!!! Thats terrible mate, I hope it all gets repaired asap.
I am shocked, Good luck with it.

[Mrk_Mickey]

I'm completely n00b when it comes to chassis stuff, so can anyone tell me in these pictures, does it look like it's done any chassis damage?

[V®6]

Bloody some people should not be allowed to drive

Sorry to hear Mickey, hopefuly you can it fixed without too much hassle.

[Russ59]

Sorry to see and hear Mickey Think yourself lucky she at least stopped, there's so many scumbags out there nowadays who would happily have kept driving Can't help with the repairer but just make sure it's a good one and they do the job properly. Luckily it's white, it's much easier to colour match and usually a lot less obvious that the car's been damaged. Best of luck with it mate

[Jarred]

oh mickey. I'm shattered for you mate! that's terrible. Thats one thing I always worry about when I park on the street.

that's dreadful. hopefully it all gets sorted through insurance. That's taken a fair whack. You can see the alignment near the door is out now. & I suggest teh roof might even have a kink in it.

Best of luck mate.

quick buy steves bbs rs wheels you can still win the nats.....

**** thats so **** sucks a big one.

[Tim]

Damn the Toyota Camry driver strikes again!

Sucks big time man. That one doesnt look like it will be a cheap repair.

[DubSteve]

Sorry to hear man but I would say in the vsinity of around $5000 to fix its a fair bit of labour right there

Nah mate just use your porsche twists that will do the job.

Don't let your car sit in some assessment place for days on end. Stuff may go missing on it. Thats a bad spot to get hit, book value on your VR6 wont be that high?? You got any stockies to throw on there as well? Make sure you get a rental car, cause you got this massive inconvenience placed on you. Don't settle for a Hyundai Getz neither..

Leave nothing to chance, get every persons name and take notes after every conversation with insurers, assessors, repairers. If they decide to total it, can you buy it back? You need to buy it back!!

You need to be super assertive...you will probably never speak to these people again as long as u live. If they don't like you cause your a demanding prick so what??

[gareth_oau]

I think they should change licensing laws.

when going for your driving test, you have to answer the question: "Would you be willing to drive a Camry?"

If you tick the 'yes' box, then its an automatic fail!!

[Golf Houso]

Awwww man, thats complete ... ahhh, is the damage limited to the rear fender, rear bumper and tail-light?

[thestu]

DUDEEEEEE! NOOOOOOO!!!!! i'm sorry so see this!!!!!!!!!!

has it kinked the tailgate in anyway? and can you see if the fuel filer has moved!
i know when mine was run down the side the fuel filer was rubbing against the wheel!

mate this sucks! but at least you don't have to pay for it...

[The_Hawk]

Removing a few choice bits and replacing them with the stock parts might just be a good idea. Especially if they end up writing it off, those parts will probably not actually add any value. (I'm thinking the bumper and the wheels at the very least).

Edit: Also any extra setero bits that can be quickly and simply removed (and re-installed later).

[Blitzen]

Dude, I feel your pain...I had the exact same thing happen to me with my last car, a chick in an EL Falcon rear ended me. She was driving into the sun, had a heavy dew on the windows, and it was her 5th accident of the year...Her car was a write off...
