I was at Gwinnett Place Mall driving around looking for a parking spot and i found one real close to the mall entrance but when i saw an open spot i had already passed it. So i made a U-turn through the parking lot and didnt see the blue Buick Century going to right way down the street and it T-boned me on the right rear door and right rear tire. Everyone was ok, but it was my fault for being a moron and my dad is gonna kill me later.

Here's the pic of the damage to my car. O BTW the Buick had a broken headlight and a bent bumber.

I'm more worried about my sister, its her car :nervous: We gotta get a new door i assume, i just hope the hit didnt bend the axle but it is driveable.
 
Its a good thing that she has already wrecked a car also, 3 years ago she wrecked the 86 Legend, the front axel went into the tranny so it was undriveable, my wreck wasnt as bad compared to hers.

BTW If she starts hitting me and stuff, its a good thing I can beat her up and she knows it so she better not hit me cuz i'll hit her back, harder.
 
Hey Zero sorry that you got in a car wreck. Do you know how much your insurance is gonna go up now? :nervous:

Goodluck with your dad and sister. :(
 
No I dont know how much my insurance is gonna go up, but however much its gonna go up its gonna kill us financially.
 
ugh man, you can get a new door but just try to fix the wheel well, it's almost impossible...
 
Not really my friend flipped his jeep and when he did he screwed up his wheel well and it runs great now.
 
Just get a new door, and fender well, and that ****'s back to normal...:)
 
is the wheel bent? or in a tilted position?

might be a bent control arm...
 
Wheel looks fine, a bit scratched but not at an angle....wheel wells are part of the rear fenders which is part of the whole back end of the car, and usually the roof...you can't change that...
 
with cutting and welding in a new fender... you'll need a body shop to do it... but it's definitely repairable...
 
well yea....if you really want to go through that...my bro got hit the same way in his '87 626, on the drivers side though, but hit dented the wheel well and the rear fender, then he took the side trunk pieces out(on the inside, so he could get to the dents)and then got a rounded piece of wood and hammered it out, then with the wheel well part he got a piece of wood that would fit there and hammered that out pretty well...his hit was more behind the wheel...yours is harder to self repair...
 
With front drives generally the rears are fairly simple and fairly robust - there didn't look to be much of a knock to the tyre (it's when they get into the wheel you'll generally see big damage).

Your big problem is that alot of the damage is going to be very hard to get to - it's going to be tucked in behind the lining of the wheel.

Good luck dude - heart goes out to ya.

Yes, if you are an unmarried male under 25 and you get in an accident...well, let's just say that's when the Insurance Co. takes you out into the back room (you know, the one with the table and the single bare light bulb) and proceeds to give you the "special rate". :eek: :D

Sorry to hear it man....good luck!
