Bad monday.........

MattMD · 10-29-2012, 09:21 PM

Well at least it's an excuse for a Brembo BBK.

JDane07 · 10-29-2012, 09:26 PM

Ouch.

JohnSprm69 · 10-30-2012, 04:50 PM

c'on is not that bad. only hood, grills and front bumper. shouldn't set you back anymore than your insurance co-payment

all kidding aside, sorry that happened, it must feel bad in a brand new car.

sammy_0559 · 10-30-2012, 04:51 PM

Looks like the bumper can be repaired. just need new grills, and a hood.

sorry though

bumere90 · 10-30-2012, 05:12 PM

damn
good thing your airbags didn't go off

pepsih · 10-30-2012, 05:19 PM

good thing the headlights looks good

ihc95 · 10-30-2012, 06:20 PM

When did you get the car?

JDane07 · 10-30-2012, 06:34 PM

Were you texting?

srd5948 · 10-30-2012, 07:10 PM

I took off from green signal and reached about 30 mph, everything in front of my SUV was dead stop, and before I know I hit the break hard but did not work with limited distance. I was not texting. I could not see anything in front of the SUV. It was 99 ford explorer. SUV did not even get a single scratch.
Right now it looks like only bumper and hood need to be replaced, I saw headlight check light came on. I think they are not balanced right now, I don't know if they will replace the head lights or not. Luckily air bags did not pop up👍
My insurance will cover most of the things so I am little bit relaxed... Will update once repair is done...
