thought some of you might like the look of my new front end... it was quick and easy to do, i haven't seen the bill yet though...





















the car i hit...




i'll explain everything later, i'm just at work, and it took me like an hour or 2 to type this message as my comp at work SUCKS

 

That sucks man. I'll wai for the story later

 

UH OH.

Not only did you hurt your nice new Ranger, you hit a BMW

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

nice touch man looks good

 

i do not like your new mod! put it back to the way it was. lol glad it wasnt worse.

 

you just HAD to hit a rich person :P haha hopefully everyone is ok. sucks big time though

 

Your insurance is going to suckkkk

 

Ouch!!! Doesn't look good.

You need to send me those rims ASAP!!!!!

 

eww

 

If that was my 335, Id be pissed

 

Me too

 

turns out the guy driving the bmw is an old "friend" a manager from my last job... know him well enough he wasn't going to **** a brick about it, he was mature enough to realize it is what it is... there was an accident just around the corner, and this was just after it happened... so i'm going to try to see if the police will deem it as a chain reaction... in addition to the above, there was a big patch of black ice, although i'm not entirely sure how black ice forms at -28* (it hasn't been warmer than -10 for about 4-5 days) and this is a major thurofare... saw everybody stopping, and pulling to the shoulder not to rear-end other people... i would have done the same, except there was nowhere for me to go... i tried to squeeze between the car i hit and the one to my right, but it didn't work...

there were no injuries... my back is a little sore, but i don't think it's from anything other than sleeping funny, or snowboarding last week... but we will see how it feels tomorrow...

have to go talk to the police after work, and get ahold of a claims adjuster, apparently in this type of accident, on top of being atfault, people in my situation usually get charged with following too closely, i will go in, in uniform, and hopefully i will not have that problem, but we will see...

i should add, i was wanting to put the earlier style bumper on, the flat bottomed one, with no valance, and the earlier, honney comb grill, so, silver lining? it's a debate if i want to fix it myself, and pay out of pocket, and probably not fix it all properly, OR get my insurance to put it all back to stock, and then change it all afterwards... i doubt they will put those items on for me...

i think one piece that is going to be problems is my skid plate, i don't know if it can be repaired, or if they will replace it... it will be hard to find a replacement, i'm thinking though...

 

Not digging the custom front end! That sucks.

 

OUCH! thats two wrecks today. And its not even noon (PST)

 

it already sucks, its canada, its going to double suck now.

 

That sucks man.

 

it's alberta, which isn't too bad, i was paying about 320 a month for full coverage, 1000$ deductable... with 1 at fault and 1 ticket in last 4 years (effectable time)

we will see what my new rate is...

 

Ouch, I'm paying 140 a month with a 500 deductable with full coverage with one speeding ticket. I'm only 20 too, how long have you been driving?

 

i'm 23, been driving since i was 16, got my full, un restricted license when i was 18, had a vehicle insured under my name since i was 17ish...

that's for your f-150? this blows... my brother pays like 70$ a month for his sierra, and another friend of mine (who is like 40) pays like 200 a month, for 4 cars and his house!

 

anyone know the cost for the older style, honney comb grill, the slim bumper, and one fog light? these are items i am going to put on... the stuff that they replace i will probably sell...

 

Yeah, I've only been driving for 3 years though and I've only had my own insurance for 3 months. It will go down again in January once my ticket comes off.

 

i hate you

 

At least it will be cheaper for us when we convert to your health insurance system.

 

just wait til your 25, your insurance will get cut in half haha

 

Honey Comb Grille would be about $60-75 shipped off of here, a fog light I'm gonna say $35, and the slim bumper, I dunno. I'm going to be selling my mint chrome 04 4x4 bumper and fogs when my 08 bumper gets painted. I'm planning on asking $150 for the complete setup so you can use that to compare to.
