the hybrid hath been wrecked
i had just left adams moms house, we were going get my clothes and meet jenna to leave for florida. it was raining HARD, and hadn't rained in about 2 months. i was approaching a redlight and some traffic when i started to slow down. i was going about 20mph when i started to hit my brakes, and my tires just locked up. i left off the brakes and tried to turn the streering wheel to avoid the truck in front of me, but to no avail. my passenger headlight collided with his trailer hitch. the only thing that was wrong w/ his truck is his bumper shifted about 2 inches. my car is pretty messed up. the hood, radiator support, radiator, bumper support, fenders, passenger blinker, both headlights and a few other things are in need of replacement. the guy said he was ok, but my neck and knee hurt, and adams back is hurting him. we'll see how it goes. i called the insurance adjuster, and they're gonna send someone out here to look at it. im about to call the insurance company back to see if i can get a rental car, since i NEED transportation. oh well, i'll let u guys know what happens.

Re: the hybrid hath been wrecked (spankaveli)
The exact same thing happened to my friends del sol about 3 weeks ago, its weird seeing your car cause it looks exactly like his.....His was considered salvadge...but the frame was actually okay so he kept it and since it wasnt his fault he got major bank back....$5000 to do what he wants to get it back to normal.
He already has a new stock hood, and fenders on....and he just ordered a new front bumper...not sure what kind? Kaminari I think?
And hes gettin the Ground Designs side skirts and rearend, coilovers, wheels and a whole new paint job......he got lucky!

Well it's good that you and your passenger are okay. I hope your insurance covers that. Are you putting the engine in another car or are you going to have your coupe fixed?
