 |
|
these pictures are the result of what happened when i was driving through an intersection with a green light and some inconsiderate young girl decided to turn right into the side of me coming the opposite way. we both had a green light to go straight and she thought that gave her right of way, even though she needed a green arrow to have the right of way.
anyway i thought i may as well share my pain with the rest of you. im having withdrawal symptoms already lol
and what it looked like before  |

Couple of new doors required there and some metal bashing.
Not concentrating on what she was doing stupid girl.
I guess she is lucky you didn't punch her. I probably would of if it was my TE 50. |

Doesn't she have traffic lights where she's from? I'm surprised she knows what the colours mean. |

my sister got totalled a few years back just after she spent a $2G on a new changeover motor.
She turned on a green arrow and the other guys ran a red light. |

| thanx for the support guys at least it gives me an excuse to get the front bar resprayed to get rid of the stone chips. im just glad its not a write off its a good car that gives me absolutely no trouble. the panel beater said there may be some suspension damage where she went into my rear wheel but at least itll all be fixed. i wonder if theyll do my rear shock tower mounts while there at it lol |

Sounds like a "it wasn't entirely my fault" excuse hey 
I have a friend who is a cop now, he doesn't even look when merging, doesn't indicate, doesn't pay attention to traffic lights, it's so scary being in a car with him. People with short attention spans shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel. |

Spewing mate, looks like a fairly decent hit 
Hopefully the repair turns out alright. |

Off topic slightly... What springs are you running in your TE?
I don't think mine is that low, and I've discovered it has King S/Lows in the rear... |
