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!!

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

**thestu** · 24-04-2009, 11:30 AM

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...

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).

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...

Similar thing happened to me, except the guy hit and pushed my car along the kerb and bent the chassis, and he reckons he was doing 40!!!

Of it is around $5k damage, insurance will most likely write-off. Speak to your insurer, then start shopping around for another VR6 to swap your bits into...

Look on the bright side, your mystery engine probs are now gone!

Man that sucks!!!!!

At least they stopped, a lot of people wouldn't

Hope it all works out well and you can keep it, it's a very clean car

dude it is a blessing from god you can get the whole car painted and your wheels, at the expense of the insurance company. Ive got a mate who has a panel shop he does exceptional work and has 15years experience.
