In to the light pole, gonna be taking it to the shop today to see what the verdict is

I'm going to need a further explanation of what happened instead of just damn light pole. If worst comes to worst, I call your side skirts xD. I could prolly pick em up too if need be.

HERE COME THE SCAVENGERS!

That being said, there is either a shitload of damage under there, or you simply wrinkled your fender. My guess is the frame has been tweaked, so aside from replacing and painting body panels, there's gonna be a frame machine involved. Judging by your description of the accident, it's your fault, too, which sucks because you're fresh out of college (or still in it) so my GUESS is you had basic insurance and wont want to pay out of your own ass to fix this.

Not being a dick haha. Just sucks to conclude that this car is likely gone

Love SY.

We shall see, and I have full coverage, whatever happens, theres probably another neon in the future

Damn man. Such a clean car too. I'm glad you're ok. Be careful out there.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:15 pm

So what exactly happened with the light pole? Poor SY

Are you planning on fixing it regardless?

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:54 pm

Well it was 100% driver error, my fault completely, turned my head left for a split second and guess the car veered left a little bit and bam light pole, pretty freaking embarrassing and completely blows cause I love the car, but shit happens and all I can do is move on

And Ideally I would love to keep it and fix it regardless, had some pretty big plans for it

Tis the season. Glad your alright, sorry about the car

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 3:52 pm

Well its at the body shop now, so now we shall wait and see what they have to say. If worse comes to worse I will still be keeping the car and slowly building it back to new.

Good luck with this man.... ugh hate to see neons beat up like this but glad you are ok.

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:11 am

So heres the deal, Insurance was gonna give me 7300 for the car, but since its my first car and I always planned on keeping it and building it to my liking, I'm buying it back 1k and there giving me 5800. So my grandpa knows a bunch of people with some shops so might be able to get some deals on some stuff. Definitely gonna need some frame work done and figure out while its only running in one gear. But anyway itll get done. Already got me an SRT-D bumper on the way and my front lip is just scraped up so its still good. Can't wait to get the neon it the state it was, or a little better.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:21 am

awesome!

hmm you should shop wisely and dont splurge haha. have you ever thought about doing a manual swap.. you sure got way more than plenty for it. just giving you ideas. lol.

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:23 am

Yea I'm gonna try and get some good deals, well I would love to do a 5 speed swap, well see

UriahRR · Post by **UriahRR** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:51 am

I wish they would give me that much if I totaled my car, damn, that's a nice amount of cash...

hhmmm... at $7800, my only choice would be RX-8 or SRT-4.

WRX.
