Camry & Solara LoungeDiscussion area for every generation of Toyota's family car, the Toyota Camry. Lexus ES250/300 owners welcome! Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance and more.
After all the time, money and effort thatI have put inot my car I would have never thought that this would have happened. As I was pulling into my work's parking lot today my gas pedal got stuck and my car slammed into the side of the building after I lost control of it. I had the brake pedal pressed all the way down and I tried used my e-brake(Didn't work for shit, I guess it wasn't tightened all way) My Carbon fiber hood, my RMM front lip, my headlights, are all fucked. The car was about to go into the paint booth next week for a new paint job, I guess that isn't happening anymore, it was also supposed to be in a car show in March, now that isn't happening either. I'm so fucking shaken up right now it isn't even funny.

99% chance that they'll call it a salvage. It's up to you. My car is a salvage. For a front end damage, they decided to label it as a salvage. Sucks though. Hope everything goes well.

Note- One thing we can all do on this board is learn from other people's experiences... If this happens to you, try dropping it into neutral and shutting it down.
^^^Same as Rapeacivic said it happens so quick you can't react. The car I had before my Cam was a 1990 Old's Cutlass Ciera. The accerlator started to stick after I was goofing around and racing a co-worker in his corolla in the parkinglot at work. After that the accelerator would stick from time to time. One time I was going like 30-40 and it wouldn't slow down even pressing down on the brake and I had to make a sharp ass left turn and almost bucked the shit out of the curb. Happened so quick and was scared as hell I just took the turn and tried not to hop the curb when I know it'd make sense to just shift into neutral. After that experience I told my dad I refused to drive that death trap anymore. A week later I was driving a 1995 Camry

My God! I had a daydream about that. What happens if I got in an unavoidable accident? All the mods, research, TLC that I put into my car.... What happens then... I would be lost. I feel bad man. The Scepter is like our brother's kid. We watch it grow up, share in its accomplishment and upgrades and then something tragic happens.
I say cry on the first day, drink till you pass out on the second, and on the 3rd day start planning for the resurrection. You've come too far to go to Carmax and sellout by getting an Accord.
Fix it.
