Argh!!!! Now frame damage.....

[Drew]

Well, it seems my little episode with the curb, courtoesy of those lovely Yokahamas, has now caused frame damage. It seems there is a tow hook located underneath the front bumper. This is connected to the side rail (layman's terms...frame). That is all mangled and my control arm might be too. This $700 - $800 job (my original estimate) is now looking like $3,000 to $4,000! :AF:

sorry to hear that drew.....

[My2ktoy]

you've got insurance though right?

[Drew]

Yes, I have insurance. I didn't want to get them involved since my rates will now be affected but that idea just went to hell.

Sorry to hear about this Drew. Good luck
Peace

Isn't that part of the subframe, which really isn't part of the frame? I dont think it's as bad as you say.

[larryd]

damn Drew.. sorry to hear it man, sounds like my luck is spreading its way over to ya..

[atehrani]

I hope the damage won't be too severe. Next time, keep an eye on those tires.

[Drew]

Thanks peeps!

Ya I know Larry, it's just spreading. However, if your luck really hit me...I'd be soaking wet also ;).

My car visited a curve banking at 85mph cortesy of me and too much beer mimicking Days of Thunder. The frontal underframe was completely damaged and after 4months of repair by the insurrance I think the car still has chassys damage. Now I call my call "The Wonderer".The car looks good and every suspension part was replaced but, it just doesn't feel right...

Celica chassy's flex a lot!
Check your sunroof frame if it marked your roof then your chassy twisted. Don't stay with the car I'm planning selling mine.
Sorry!

Sh!t drew just tell them that you hit a pothole at such and such intersection and address, I'd even sue the city, just blame a pot hole. I'm more than certain there are big potholes in your city.

Yah man, lie about the whole thing, blame it on someone else and commit fraud too. Thats what huang would do, another great American.
