SVX vs Public Transportation

Just be warned...some of these images are graphic

Before:








after....my poor baby





I just got these rims >_<










After all that it still runs like a champ lol. I ordered a new rim and popped on a new fender and turn signal so far. My friends getting a deal on the body work ( just $250 to get the dings and what not out on top of a $800 single color paint job).

I was wondering if anyone had trustworthy sites where I could order after market parts ( like clear head light lenses, bumpers , etc). I'm treating my SVX likes its Robocop and my names OCP.

Oh and I was wondering if I should keep it laguna blue or spring for something new lol ^_^

Ouch. Glad no one was hurt.

Keep it Blue! There are many reasons why. You'll kick yourself later otherwise.

If it was my area, it would have been the bus driver's fault. they haul around like it's nobody's business...

Sorry to hear that, those are nice rims too, and the car looks in good shape. Good luck on getting it strait again.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

We were both at a light making a left , I was on the inside and the bus decided it should start turning early and I guess I ended up in their blind spot.

The messed up thing is that it was just rub damage at first, then after five seconds they decided it would be best to keep going...like the problem was going to fix itself >_<

Interesting fact : didn't know the side mirrors were collapsible, saved me from more expensive repairs lol.


does anyone know if this is a respectable site?

You hurt the bus more than it hurt you. you need a fender, bumper, and corner light...easy work.
the corner of the under bus storage unt is bent to a retzle....itll cost them a pretty penny to weld in a new one of those

The title sounded much worse than the actual damage. I was expecting much worse, but glad to see it's fixable.

Faultless because it was non-impact? Lame.

Buses fault, tbh.

I hate insurance companies so much... they know it's the DOT's fault, but the DOT will never admit it, and hte insurance company to lazy to go after them, so you eat the bill.
