Just got into another crash with my cam( still haven't fully fixed it yet from the previous one). This dude in a ranger ran a stop sign and banged my driver fender. When i get out he still has the heart to tell me I was speeding so he couldn't see me and I was going well below the speed limit. Good thing i swerved out tryin' to avoid him or else it would have been worse since he was going much faster than i was.This car has me soo frustrated. Everytime I begin to recover from one problem, another comes up. I was just going to spray my car next week from the previous crash, now that has to be put back because I know he'll give me shit and cops in Belkize suck. Atleast it wasn't my fault this time. Why me?
If it bent the fender in, make sure that half of the drive train, and superstructure are ok.

yea sorry to hear that from you man i used to have a 1992 gen3 v6 camry white 4 door back in the year 2000 (now i downgraded to a 1994 white 4-cyl 5sfe no abs, drums in back, haha)
the dude ran the stop sign and the terrible thing was, he was already in a hit and run accident before he actually hit me, and when he hitted me, me and him were both bashed up into a tree, he was in a jeep cheeroke suv, so yea it was pretty bad, he was bleeding from his ears and his tire flew off, but all the tires from my camry stayed on.... dam that fukkker....
argh, i miss v6 power... i'll planning to get a gen3 v6 soon tho
I didn't do the guy anything because I saw that he had a gun on his side. I just keep thinking about how much worse it would have been if I didn't swerve out. Brakes didn't really help since it was raining and streets here are bad, so i just slid when i mashed the brakes. I know the guy, he lives a couple streets from my house. Belize is small so it's hard to get away with anything. Everyone knows someone that knows someone. lol. I even know where he works since I pass there nearly evryday. I went to see the guy and was showing him the obvious dent and he was like "What dent?" This made me really agnry and I let him know either you pay up or it's gonna be some shit. It pisses me off cause when I was in my accidents I had no prob in going to my insurance company and taking care of it. Shit if it';s my fault it's my fault and i'll take responsibility. He kept on saying that accidents happen and i should forget it. F*ck that!! I've put too much in my cam to see shit liek that happen and get nothing. Tomorrow I'm going to his house. This guy has no idea I have soo much info on him, since one of my friends live right next to him. I'm going to the station tommorrow to report it because he has me on the run around wasting gas. he says he was gonna call me, but I know he won't. Now I'm definately selling my car. Gonna fix it and spray then put it for sale. I won't drive it after it's fixed, I'm gonna go back to my '94 Trooper for a while. Thanks guys for all your comments.
p.s. Mikey yeah my car is solid black. Right now it's raining alot here, but it's the rainy season after summer until bout february. And yes there are alot of hot ready to party women here who are always down for whatever you like.

The reason I asked was I saw an article in my State Farm Auto Insurance news letter about car color and accidents. It was a few years ago but I think the highest rate of cars involed in accidents was a dark brown to burgundy color. Next was black, followed by dark green. I believe it also mentioned overcast days or twighlight as having more accidents than Day time or Night time driving.
I owned a 1988 Burgundy colored Honda Accord Lxi and it seemed like the dammed thing had a big invisible target painted on it that everyone but me could see. I got into 2 major accidents where the repairs were over $7,500 , and I had a bunch of smaller ones.
Here's an example: I was on Las Vegas Blvd. in the far right hand lane trying to turn into a casino parking lot. The side walk was packed with people so I sat there waiting to turn. Out of the corner of my eye(rear view mirror) I saw a car flying at me from behind. I straightened my wheel as I stomped on the gas. I got about 25 feet, but I still got plugged from behind. So I pull in to a parking lot and the car follows me, it's a white Mustang with gold trim. I jump out of my car and I'm ready to kill this guy. Then this fine ass blonde (5' 9" 115 lbs. Loong Legs and a body that rocked. Probably a dancer.) swings her long legs out of the car and stands up. "Are you all right" I said concerned that she might have messed her hair up or something. I like other guys have a really hard time getting mad at something soo fine.
Needless to say she was alright, she said she didn't even see me until the last second. And I finally got the hint and got rid of my car. Since then I've had 0 accidents in the last 10 years. With my moving target I had about 5 accidents in a little over two years, with about 6 months of that time my car being in the body shop.

i would say the Trooper has seen more action than the camry. Then again that's because I always go on my "missions" in my trooper since it's bigger and has more room than my camry, if needed. However the camry gets me more looks than the trooper. but yeah this car has to go. I was talking to my father and he said that in Chetumal (Mexico) they spray cars for cheaper than here in Belize and better. I'm suppose to take the trooper next month and probably just take the camry at the same time. Like I said once it's fixed I'm not driving it. Can't afford another accident. I've been driving my trooper much longer than my cam and I haven't had anykind of close calls or accidents in it. Now in the Cam I have it about 7-8 months and this is my third accident and I've had countless amounts of close calls.

I'm about to go look at a 91 or 92 white cressida on some 16" rims. I'm hoping they're selling it at a good low price. I'm not looking to spen more than $8,000 ($4,000 USD) on a car. If i can't get another nice toyota I'm looking into a altima, maxima, or accord.
