Camry Curse back for another round

I just read Gen3cruiser's post on his Camry's wreck. This here happened Tuesday night at about 6:00 PM.

Swerved to miss something that ran out into the road (turns out it was a dog), dodged again to miss oncoming ford taurus, went straight into light pole. destroyed both passenger side fenders, mirror, and both doors. Nothing serious really, probably about $600 parts price and then paint. I'm gonna do the labor myself. Sucks ass though, I was looking forward to driving it to the beach this summer, so much for that.

Maybe this curse is why my wife backed our Sienna into my camry about 2 months ago and then about 2 weeks ago my sister in law backed her Tahoe into the same spot. Drivers rear door and quarter scratched from the sienna and a little crease. the tahoe pulled the fender out a little and caved in the dor some and almost pulled the bumper skin from the fender right behind wheel.

thats great... good excuse to hit an animal... i'll have to use that some time... Glad your ok though... $600 for all those parts? thats pretty inexpensive... are u pulling from a junk yard or gettin it somewhere else? i'm looking to replace my rear quarter on the passenger side... i never really looked at a bone yard for a price...

Cool

Take my advice...

If it's smaller than a deer, hit the fucker.


There is a reason 99% of ES's are "hair lipped" like mine.









See how much less damage my car sustained by hitting the god damned stray than swerving around it!?

don't hit a deer, ever...but my friend hit a coon and his bodykit scooped it up and it was still in the front bumper when he got home (dead of course...)

what we are discussing now is call darwinism...if u run into traffic, animal or human, u deserve to be hit...

o yea, after u run whatever it is, dont look back, just keep driving and the guilt wont be as bad...
