I drive a '96 Bronco, I'm home this afternoon and my buddy calls and tells me to meet him and someone else at the mall. I have like no gas in my bronco, so I take the '98 Camery, all I can say is thank God that I didn't take the bronco, it would have been a lot worse with the bigger heavier truck. Its was my grandparents car, they just moved to ME full time, and didn't need a 3ed car anymore. It was given to me to either sell or keep and drive as my own. My plan was to sell it, and give the money to time, even though they aren't expecting it.<br /><br />Well, now my plans have kinda changed.<br /> 
I'm coming back from the Mall, with a friend in the car with me, which is against the law for me, because I haven't had my license for 6 months yet. Behind me is another friend, in a Nissan 240RX. We are going down the worst road in town. Its real narrow with two very tight hair pin turns. I get to the second bend at maybe 25 mph, and keep in mine its POURING rain out. I was going to fast for the road and conditions. Just as I started to turn the corner, a early 90's S-10 4 door blazer is coming around the corner. Both her and I weren't really hugging the curb, she too the corner tight, crossing into my lane and I took it wide, crossing into hers a bit. I had no time to react, I skidded right into her, almost head on.<br /><br />After it happened I told the kid in the passenger seat to get the hell out of here, I got in the other kids car and screwed. No one around even noticed it, at hope. I get out of the car and walk up to the Blazer, its full of people. Looks like a middle aged mother driving, grandmother in the passenger seat and two kids in the back, kids where maybe 7-12 years old. They all had seat belts on and where fine. It wasn't a real hard impact, because my hood kinda got stuffed under her bumper. The only damaged to her car was a tweaked bumper, and maybe a cracked headlight or grill. I asked her not to go threw insurance, and let me pay to have it fixed, or better yet fix it myself. She said that its her only car, its old and she has no money for a new one. I think she just needs it running right, and isn't to worried about what it looks like, it wasn't in the best condition to start with. She has to talk to her husband, before she makes any promises, but I talked to her on the phone afterwards and she said something about having her mechanic look at it, and she said it seemed to drive home fine. I know for a fact its only cosmetic to her car, I'm just praying that her husband doesn't stick it to me, because if this goes threw insurance I'm totally #$%^&*& <br /> <br /><br />Well, that's only the half of it!<br />Then you have the Carmey I was driving. Its a mess I never shut it off while I was exchanging papers and stuff with her. I saw that white smoke was coming the engine, so I shagged *** home, fast. I was loosing coolent the whole way tome.The temp gauge was all the way up as I pulled it into my driveway. I shut it off and I wont start since. Their is a TON of damage. Here are the parts it needs: Bumper,bumper support,radiator support,radiator,headlight,headlight housing,hood, fender(maybe), and battery (got punctured and leaked acid all over) <br />The unibody frame thing that goes from fender to fender is in a "V" shape, and will need to somehow be replaced, this is the only thing I can't to myself, I think. That parts alone, assuming I buy new will tap me out, money wise. <br /><br />So, right now I'm sitting home praying this doesn't go threw my insurance company. I pay 2,200 a year right now, with a clean record. ThenI have the problem with fixing her blazer, plus the carmey, because my dad has made it clear that I MUST fix it and sell it for what its worth, no matter what my grandparents say.<br />Worse case for me would be I sell my bronce, and use the money to fix this thing, then Id fix, and drive the camrey.<br /><br />So, I'm not having a good night Wish me luck and thanks for listening.
