2003 Camry Totalled

[trdse]

My 03 Camry was totalled last night here in Houston. My mom borrowed the car because her car was blocked in at home. Some stupid a$$ ran a red light doing 60mph, didn't stop, ran into the rear passenger side of the car and drove off. 3 mexican guys in a 86 Toyota van. The guy hit my car so hard it spun the car around 4 times. Damage to the car includes: rear door, rear bumper, hood flexed, my rims bent, looks like it bent the axles, frame looks bent, interior is damaged. What really pisses me off other than the guy leaving and didn't have insurance, is that this car was in the process of being all show.

My mom walked away with no scratches thank God. I'm happy she's okay, but pissed about the car.

Mods to the Camry included:

- Mercedes Benz leather interior swap
- Custom dash/door trim pieces
- Full suspension (trd sway bars/strut bars/springs/shocks, etc)
- Custom 3PC 19in Racinghart C4's
- Exhaust
- Molded Mercedes Benz door handles
- Limo tint all the way around
- Custom subwoofer setup under back seat
- Diamond Audio component sets for high's/mid's
- Indash widescreen tv/navigation/dvd
- Blacked out headlamps/emblems/grill/etc
- Performance engine mods
- Molded GS300 foglamps
- Philips HID kit
- Custom alarm setup w/paging device
- Global tracking system
- VIN tracking on all doors/body/windows, etc.
- Lojack tracking system
- Custom body kit being finished

host of other junk aswell as other plans for the car. Insurace denied claim to replace the addons either though I had that junk insured. WTF didn't I just drive her to where she needed to go and why was was the Camry the chosen car to drive.

that's tragic mate. lucky your mum wasn't hurt.

but mate, this sorta thing could happen to any body at any time. i really doubt that you could of changed your fate if you drove your mum to wherever she needed to go, or if she chose to drive a different car, or even if she chose to drive a different route, this still could of happened.

mate, you can own as many cars as you want in your lifetime, but you only have the one mum and she is more important than a car.

they were probably smokin crack and talking about which bank to rob next.

but how could they drive off? the damage must've been too great for that other guy aslo.

good thing she walked away.

probably because the Camry wasn't driven much. My daily driver is a 2003 V6 Accord. We probably know each other, since I know most of the import scene from Houston.

Hey well maybe you can take this time to get the new SE with the 3MZ-Fe. It would be nice to see what kind of power people can make with that engine.

This is the exact reason why I am reluctant to put money into cars.

Sux to hear about the wreck, glad you mom's ok though.

[trdse]

$35,000 in modifications, a totalled car and whats worse, my mom had to be involved. i find them, ima kill em.

[Tex97]

Jesus Christ, you put 35 grand worth of mods on that car?!!!

To each his own, but I would buy a luxury car before I bought a Camry and dumped 35 grand into it.

Yea, I'd want to kill them to.

Whats with the mexicans alway involve in hit and run, I feel sorry for them since they make all the other mexicans look bad.

damn 35,000 thats seems alot for what is done...but man i feel ya...so is the camry total total? cuz that would suck....well jw what does the custom kit look like? and I'm also planning on crazy mods for my car....jw what you gonna get next...if its something else, parting anything out?

[EKam]

Damn.

But good to hear your mom is ok.

You can buy a new Camry and make it look exactly the same if it's totaled but not your own mother.

nothing to part out man. they hit the car so hard it blew up everything in the trunk, bent 2 wheels, ripped door handles off, shredded the back seat and passenger seat, center console busted, tore up the suspension, blew up the subs/box, twisted the exhaust. only thing that survived from what I can tell is the tv/dvd/navigation.

the body kit I was designing was a blend of the skyline/bw/buddy club/wings west kit. I was planning to do NSX rear vents and blend them into the rear fender/doors, the kit was to get molded on, I was in the process of having a hood scoop/vents made for my hood, then I was going to repaint the car the same color but with alot of clear coats.

future plans were to do a custom trunk with break apart amp rack, 15in plasma flat screen molded into the trunk, 2 10in. jl w7's. I wanted to get rear window spoiler off the l-sportline setup. I was also planning to do the GS headlight/taillight conversion. would of look dope when done but haters always gotta ruin stuff.
