got in an accident today...messed up my front bumper when i ran into the back of a explorer...i hit the towing hitch so that had absoultely no damage...i wasnt thinking at the time so they got my number and license plate....i didnt get their number or license and we didnt call the cops.....how screwed am i....my parents already took away the car privelages....life sucks

edit: im gonna need a new bumper on my car for the 2nd time since we have had it and it will probably cost me at least $350 most likely more...sadly i have had too many bad memories in the camry and i just want a new car

what i really wanna do as use this as an opportunity to start on body work....body kit sound good to anybody other than me? too bad i have no money right now and my dad is making me pay for this really soon...i dont think he would let me go with a kit

body kit is a bad idea. learn to drive the car before you start modding it. im not trying to be a dick (i just crashed my car in feb with much worse damage), but it's the best advice I can give... a lot of kids put a bunch of money into their cars and crash it and lose everything

You're actually pretty lucky that the damage isn't that bad at all... if you hadnt hit the trailer hitch, your headlights and hood probably would have hit his/her bumper.

driving is a big responsibilty and its on you not the camry, so whining about wanting a new car you can wreck just as fast ain't doing anybody any good. (and i am not trying to be a bitch either)

With all the respect man, try to drive more carefully. I have totalled one 96 avalon, 93 v6 xle camry, now I'm driving a 99 i4 camry. I put more care on this car now than ever, and my driving is a lot better. Good luck man, hope you can find a good deal for your car.

Sorry to hear. THat is very little damage though.

I should show you guys when my GEN 5 got hit

, it wasn't even 12 months old.

Use car-parts.com

You can get a used front for cheap seriously, I just ordered a es250 front end for $159.95

Be more careful, that's all... on the bright side, they can't do shit b/c you gave them no damage

When I whacked my old gen2 it was a very different story, f***ed up everything but my bumper and the fenders up front... no frame damage... (I hit a Windstar)

Like you, I was convinced my Camry was cursed after that, but I kept it for another 15 months til I got the gen3.5
