This sucks :(

Well I did it, I wrecked it, was taking my to work this morning and this maxima in front of me stopped and my truck decided it didn't want to. The passenger side caliper has been acting up, but it usually only did it when I would haul a trailer or try to push the pedal through the floor so I never thought anything about it. Guess I probably should have instead of pushing it off.

It's not that bad! My first Sub had the same kind of damage. Bumper, fender, inner fender and the core support might be tweeked. Easy fix, get all the parts from a pull-a-part; cheap. Get all your parts first, and swap out in a weekend = done!

Re: This sucks :(

Sorry about the bad luck. I had a simmilar experience but it involved slightly higher speed and me not paying close enought attention.

I'm picking up a new front end and radiator tomorrow after work and putting her back togather Saturday. Suprisingly little damage considering I hit the VW at 50 mph and totaled it . I'll only have $150 into putting mine back onto the road. Good luck getting her back to herself.
