Full lock-up emergency stop + a Chevy Van = THIS!
I got in an accident coming home from Harbor Freight Tools which was CLOSED!!!!
This is what happened...
Is my exhaust supposed to hang that low?
OUCH...my bumper needs a band-aid...
Peekaboo...I'm hiding from the scary CHEVY!
I think my trunk needs an alignment.
Bumper mounting tabs are not very useable any more...
Another shot of my scrapping exhaust.
The tip is supposed to be in-line with the edge of the bumper.
Azenis-1... Cheap pepboy's tires on the van-0
That simple green bottle is about 2" in diameter...
Exhaust hanger-1... Fireball-0
What do we have here? A holy fireball!
Most of the damage looks cosmetic, but I'll have to go to the body shop to find out.

Had to stop for an ambulance crossing the intersection. I had the green light. The van couldn't stop in time and pushed me 10 feet into the intersection. Ironic huh? The ambulance was saving someone while I got screwed!!!

Did the police come down to make a report?
I should have told them the guy had no insurance...

So if your car flipped in a ditch but you were ok you don't call the police? If someone hits you and has no insurance call the police!

I called them, but they told me they won't come down...i forgot to tell them the guy had no insurance papers. I regret it... I have all his info though, so DMV will take care of it if the sh*t hits the fan..
....put a hole right in that pipe.

Here's an update:
Not sure if the tow hook bracket is supposed to flush in the back or not...
Check out that fat crush bent piping!!!
As you all know, the left most bend is supposed to be 90 degrees...
Accident

Another shot of the bar....THANKS LEO!
I think i'm going to need a new trunk lid too...
EDIT: I'm running my stock b-pipe w/o a muffler now.
