Default Accident. -_- stupid drivers.

So... this is why i hate driving in Alhambra.

Anyway the story is: The guy in the pickup truck was distracted doing something texting or paperwork or something and when he looked up he was too close to the car in front so he tried to swerve away from the toyota solara and he clipped her right back side panel then hit the wall. Then i didn't have time to stop so i slammed on the brakes then hit him. because he stopped so fast.

Traffic was slowing so we were going about 30 mph. ******* illegals.. he didn't have his license or insurance. -_-

This was on the 10 freeway about 50 ft after the garfield ave exit on the very right slow lane.

Any ideas on what parts i should get? front bumper, grill, new hood, and then my radiator is leaking -_-

Any idea on where you intend to take it to for repairs? If not I can refer you to a place in S. El Monte. The pricing will be good as for the work performed. I can make sure that you will be satisfied with the outcome. If you intend to get aftermarket parts (kits etc). I think I may be able to get you a good price on parts and labor.

By the way my cell phone number has been changed. The number you had before is no good anymore. If you are interested send me a PM.

Edited: I hate going anywhere near SGV area. Was it an asian guy in the truck aswell?

you can pick up headlights on ebay for fairly cheap every so often so check there. Bumpers can also be found on ebay. I see them on vortex sometimes (im in the same boat, my bumper is screwed up but im waiting till spring to fix it) hoods... i dunno.

sucks that happened though. People in general are retarded.

hmm, looks bad.. I know the feeling. I have a carbon fiber hood I was going to put on mine but it didnt fit that good.. it would be perfect for a temp hood if ya want it. Be expecting a 5k repair on that atleast.. mine tallied up to almost 8k.
