Probably back to a 1 SVX family. *sad pics*
So, yesterday, my mom, little brother, and my girlfriend came up to Milwaukee to visit me at school (and go to the Auto-x at Miller Park)
After the auto-x, we dropped my car off at the parking lot, and all hopped in my mom's car. We were on our way down to the lake to see the scenery. Following a church van down some side streets, we pulled up to a stop sign. The van stopped, and I stopped behind it. All of a sudden, they throw the van in reverse, and give it some gas. I honked, put the car in neutral (on my way to reverse) and let go of the brake, trying to minimize the damage by letting the car roll. The van was still going fast enough to plow right in to the front of the SVX. So here's the aftermath. 2 more pics here: http://www.smatrixt.com/pics/svx/92/ The damage may not look TOO bad in the pics, but the whole radiator support beam thingy got pushed back, and is almost completely straight now. My mom is waiting for a fax on the estimate. The garage we took it to said $2200. So it might not be totalled. (probably be better if it was though) Everyone's ok, and sorry if the post is a little jumbled...still pretty upset about it. And a some pics from the auto-x (got there late, and didnt get to see any of the subies run. The yellow s2k was the fastest car there (that I saw atleast)) http://www.smatrixt.com/pics/milparkautox/

Even if it is "totaled" it looks like a fixer, as long as the main chassis isn't bent (significantly) most of the front end parts are usually easy to replace, espically ig you can find color matched parts...

It's unfortunate that there are people out there like that.
I hope you were able to get pics of the other vehicle. I've learned my lesson and keep a camera in my car for just such a reason. The last insurance claim (for a door ding) the other party denied it even though I actually had them re-open their door to verify that it lined up with the ding on my door. Next time I will take a picture so there is no doubt. By the way those S2000's usually clean up here as well.

Yeah, I got pics of the other vehicle, and the cop who came gave him a ticket. I heard him admit guilt to the officer too. It was one of those big vans that carry like 15 people. It was a church van (only had 2 people in it) from like: Something Power of something something something...lol

I guess I'd have to give it a good look-see, but those upper cross bars are usually not structural. Sometimes they give the fenders a bit of rigidity to keep the hood lines straight, but usually all they do is hold the radiator, headlights, and hood latch in place. I've cut the bars out so it'd be easier to pull the engines. On the Subaru I did this too, I reinstalled a similar bar because it holds the headlights. On the Honda I've done this to, I never replaced it.
With a new hood, fender, mock light, and radiator[?], I think this whole thing could be fixed in about an hour in your backyard. ...but I guess I'd have to poke my nose under there before I swore on it. (That's my foot-in-mouth prevention disclaimer.) ...oh. Your DieHard is showing. |

Take lemons and turn them into lemonade
Perhaps you can take this as an opportunity to put on a cover with a hood scoop or at least have that one or a new one molded so you can put an intercooler in.
I know I am not helping but sometimes you have to take some tragedies and turn them into opportunities. Remember, you can take lemons and turn them into lemonade. Just make sure you don't have too many lemons. Quote:
