Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
So, i got hit. I got rear ended by a Ford van, since it was my first accident, i hesitated...i wasnt under my ,mother insurance policy so i didnt want to report the incident and cause my mother insurance to rise so i told him to give me 250 for the bumper, and that was that. But he also bent my trunk, so since i didnt want police involved i just took the money. So the car in front left, he bent my front buymper support on the drivers side and the shock absorber is indented from where i was pushed to the other car,. my rear absorber is cracked and the rear end seems to be pushed in. So i jynked myself so the cursed is creeping to gen 4
Here are pics

Shes never going to be the same

Well like i said some dude from the street ( street mechanic ) was willing to put my two bumpers on for 200 so im guessing he is going to pull out the back a bit but im more worried about the rear trunk closing after it get fixed...
I was just worried but hopefully after i sit adn talk with my mother if naything i'll can gave back the dude his money and have insurance handle it, if he agrees which will be difficult but both my parents said after a talk on the phone it was better for it to come out this way instead of having the whole insurance thing comeup and stuff

LOL, he told me he can get me a OEM bumper for about 110 and install both bumpers ( the new one and the replacement bumper i bought from a junk yard ) for 200 this money is coming out of the money the dude gave me...but i gotta wait till i talk with both of my parents, if anything does happen and we have to call the insurance company. I'll call back Mitch ( who hit me ) and see what can be done

Yea, but i was completely shocked, i was shaking when i stepped out the car...literally but im still waiting to see what my moms has to say sinc ei talked to her on the phone for a couple of minutes adn hopefully i can get it repaired cheap even if i have to be rolling wiht different colored parts, summers over no need to be impression girls even though they bearly look at the camry. Also as i said many time before i didn't know what to do at all so i took the money and left which seems the best to me avoiding cops and insurance company since most likely cops would blame the teen driving with tinted taillights and the other guy was saying he couldnt even see me brake due to the tints
BUt for next ime ( hopefully there isnt one ) i'll let cops handle it and hopefully i can fix it with out many major body work adn money spent

My dad told me that even if a person isn't listed on the insurance, he/she would still be covered under insurance BUT, the coverage would be brought down to the state's minimum.
OH! btw; GEN3 curse can stay on that side ov the family. LOL
LOL...hopefully it disappears, but i really didnt want to ruin my mother insurance or what not, but its a hard lesson and i didn't know what to do. But im gettin the bumpers installed tomorrow for two humber hopefully i cna get the truck back into place

that trunk is gonna cost a lot, you can get a new front bumper for like 50 bucks and rear bumper for not too much more than that. You can run those for a bit before they need to be painted but eventually they will need to be. Check junkayrds first if you really dont have enough
