two weeks after my gf got her Civic, i had a split second of innattention and rearended a blazer.
right after the accident -
new bumper, hood, AC Condensor, O2 sensor, headlights, epoxy on the coolant resivoir (had a minor crack), and the worst....weld in a new radiator support. did all the work myself plus paid for the other guy's damage (messed his bumper up a little) all out of pocket. total cost was under $1000. both her fenders still have a ding in them and eventually we'll have them fixed and all the paint blended to match. i had never welded before, so it was interesting to say the least.
after i was done with my repairs -
when i was 18, i rearended an 83 Volvo with my 82 Prelude. i was going about 65 coming up on an intersection. the asshole was going maybe 25mph and he changed lanes right in front of me in the middle of the intersection. the accident was deemed 50/50 simply because i rearended him even though changing lanes in an intersection is illegial. i had less than a second to react to him changing lanes, and in that time i got on the brakes, got the clutch to the floor, and almost had the car down into 2nd gear from 5th.
my front right corner hit his back left, my back tires locked up, and the car started to spin. the back end of the car caught the gaurd rail (it was the beginning of the gaurd rail, so it started at ground level and went up). when i stopped, i was facing back towards the direction i was coming from and my back tires were straddling the gaurd rail. i got lucky, it could've been a LOT worse.
tow truck lifted me up off the gaurd rail and i drove the car home. on the way home, the trans was acting funny and i leaked a stream of gear fluid up the driveway and into the garage. it was written off as a loss, and his insurance company completely fucked me on the value of the car. they said it was worth $464, so they gave me half...a whopping $232 for a car that i paid $1500 for just 4 months prior.
that car was cool as hell, and someday i'll get one like it again, but i'll drop a larger engine and a 6spd in it, slap on a turbo, try to avoid lowering it (it'd probably have to come down 1-2" for better handling with a good suspension, sits kinda high stock), but besides a 5 lug conversion, i'll keep it as stock looking as possible (no loud exhaust, no wing, no gawdy stickers, nothing). i'm not into hotrodding imports, but i think it'd make a killer sleeper if it was done right. plus i really liked the look and feel of that car.
2 1/2 years ago i plowed a deer at 75mph with an 88 Beretta. we were on an emergency trip to Detroit (500 mile drive) because my aunt had died that morning. we were only about 200 miles into the drive when it happened. stupid fucker stayed behind the beam of the headlight as he ran out from the median and across the left lane. my brother in law was behind me and he said he barely had time to get on the brakes.
after deer -
in the center of the hood where it's caved in, well, that's where the hood hit the top of the windsheild and folded over onto the roof.
this pic doesn't do the damage to the windsheild any justice (i had a crappy digital at the time). you could barely see out of the windsheild.
This pic was taken right before i got my hands on a new headlight from the junkyard.
so we drove up to the next exit on the interstate, assessed the damage a bit more fully and found no mechanical damage whatsoever. the hood was latching securely, but we bought a thick rubber bungee cord and put it on as an added precaution. we also had to pull at the fender a bit because it was rubbing on the tire when i'd hit bumps, and the fender was obstructing the driver's door from opening easily.
we continued the drive and made it into Detroit by morning, then drove back a few days later. Our son, who was 2 at the time, slept through the entire accident. my gf heard the massive *THUMP* when i hit the deer. she woke up and freaked out because the windsheild was wrapped over onto the roof and she couldn't see. i slowly drifted onto the shoulder and felt for the rumble strips so i knew when i was fully off the interstate.
less than $500 to fix the car, all with junkyard parts except for the brand new windsheild that i let a shop install.

I wrecked a friends Grand Cherokee after he left me with it at a party and split with some skank.
The house we were at had an old horse trail loop behind it with deep ass mud holes from the week before. I had that thing running like a roller coaster. Everytime I came back to the house, people got out and a new bunch got in.
It consisted of jumping a hill to get into the area at around 70 mph. Then it was through the trees while they scraped the shit out of his paint. Followed by about 1 mile of bumps, burm,s and mudholes. Had the fucker floored all the way. Ended up breaking an axle, antenna, scratching the shit out of it, and wrecking the shocks. Not to mention that when he went to pick it up the next day it smelled of a mixture of mud and horse shit.
He said the thing that pissed him off most, was that he wasn't there to be a part of it. LOL
I ended up fuckin up my truck there a few weeks later. It was stuck back there for almost a week before we could get it out.
