so let me get this straight he was coming towards u, both of u driving normaly and he just turns into u?
i would be on the lookout for w/e kind of car that was that hit u! make him pay!
whats with all the crashes lately, like once a week theres a thread about a crashed RD sad.gif
looks like there could be more damage then u can see from the outside to... if its insured they will probably declare it totaled, maybe u can get a new tib without the weird looking sticker in the middle of ur front bumper tongue.gif
edit:^^post whore^^ nana.gif
oh another thing, that tread title scared me for a min;almost like the guy on newtiburon.com

Sorry to see that dude... you had a nice RD1, it's Cobalt Blue right? We didn't get that color locally.
The good side is you have decided not to leave the Hyundai scene, that's good. The accident looks bad, but you don't know until you actually take off some panels and see if the whole chasis is bent; it's a bad sign your hood does not close, but it could be the latch only... on the hatcho things look more complicated, but if it's only the fender wall, hatch would close nice again.
Good luck

You sure you weren't pretending you have a rally Tib?? Sounds a little sketchy to me. The car drove off, no one saw it, your cars covered in mud, you live in the woods.... joke.gif Kid, that sucks!

haha its officaully totalled i know this is not the f.s section but if you want parts let me know.. i am getting a local 99 here near me. needs front bumper cover but not nearly as bad as this. the whole front of the car os over 3 inches to the right and up and inch.. the hood didnt align right before so it was lifted up a little so it didnt get pushed over so its not bad at all. the front moved over with out the hood.lol.. the back hit the gaurd rail so hard it split the factory seam at the quaterpanel its like a striaght line dent whare it folded my back is pushed over about 3 inches also.. not fun and i was late for work.. didnt get out till 10.30 then had to go to the hospital because my leg is throbbing now.
THE GOOD NEWS.. i hope.. im going on tuesday to look/buy the other 99 tib, color os black< GOOD, i think it may have been in a hail storm< NOT GOOD but still cant beat the money im getting it for. i will post up pics as soon i something happens.
edit.. i was comming over a corner that goes down hill. and there was a silver acura comming towards me that was way over the double lines.. i swerved to not get hit by him off the road then back on the fish tailed (seemed fun for like 3 seconds and i thought i was going to save it) then im totally sideways looking out my drivers side window seeing a gaurd rail and a pole comming right at my drivers dor.. i hit the gas to get off the road more so the gaurd rail hit the back instead my door. i WAS wairingmy seat belt... i usually dont but will from now on
