I hope you are ok. Man that looks you got hit alot harder than 35, what the heck hit ya? I mean every single peice attached to the rear looks ruined.

EricPaul · 10-23-2006, 07:21 PM

ouch, ouch and OUCH!!

Did you back up into something or did something hit you?

hyperode · 10-23-2006, 07:21 PM

Ouch! Hope the whiplash wasn't too bad.

SUNNY_SKY · 10-23-2006, 07:22 PM

whoa! whoa!! Whooooaa!!!

Details man...need details as to what & how it happened.

That totally sucks though, only a month old.

Snubber · 10-23-2006, 07:33 PM

Oh no!

What happened? You just hate to see that..... I hope you can get her repaired and as good as new soon.

kwayne · 10-23-2006, 08:22 PM

Did you the SOB standing?

poisonskyvy · 10-23-2006, 08:43 PM

That sucks hard! I have nightmares about such things. I've had my baby 3 days now and am so paranoid that I try to avoid roads with high traffic, Bumper to bumper,and parking lots. You don' t know how many people don't pay attention (on cell phones, eating , smoking, slapping kids in back seat) You really have to be an "offensive driver". So sorry, hope it's fixable to good as new!!! Good luck

coopcj7 · 10-23-2006, 08:47 PM

Well everyone here is the story,

While I was sitting at a red light minding my own relaxing in the sun with the top down,

wait let put it this way

1 New Saturn sky.... $27,062

New pair of sunglasses.....$12.58

Country CD in the cd player...$14.99

The look on my face after the mother $%##@& slammed into my rear end and drove off while i sit in my once unscathed new car..........PRICELESS

Yea a truck full of "latinos" for lack of better words hit me and took off. the truck was later found at a home not far from the accident scene no tags no VIN tags no nothing, and I sit with a banged up sky 3 weeks later cause my dealership can't get me parts to fix it.

I am still driving it but i am upset

skybright · 10-23-2006, 08:54 PM

I'm speechless! That is one big ouch and I hope they can get parts soon to fix her up. Do you know how much damage? How does insurance work in the US, do they cover hit and run? Sorry, I feel for you.

coopcj7 · 10-23-2006, 08:59 PM

I carried whatever my insurance had to offer for the car
I had non insured motorist insurance and it is covering all repairs. But they are very slow on getting parts for my car so if anyone has any part numbers for pieces that are on the back of the sky please gimme em now

my delaership needs them

kwayne · 10-24-2006, 09:18 AM

try this post: Collision Repair Manual
should help
Good Luck

1994SC2 · 10-24-2006, 10:06 AM

Its just too much to take to look at those images ... I'm so sorry.

I don't know whats worse, seeing the Sky's beautiful lines ripped apart or the fact that you have even less trunk space now.

ctyankee · 10-24-2006, 10:16 AM

No doubt they were illegals. And you still have the temp. tags on it.

I hope your local police towed the truck away from the home?

I deal with this scenario every day. It is extremely important for everyone to check their insurance limits and keep in mind that you almost need to carry the insurance to take care of you if you get whacked by an uninsured motorist. Underinsurance is about as bad. I am so glad you were not hurt. I worry daily about getting squished. But sometimes, stuff just happens. I hope it gets fixed soon!

calico · 10-24-2006, 01:27 PM

WOW, We have a Chili Pepper on order, and these pictures really hit home. Hope you came through the ordeal with out harm. Stay safe.

I hope this helps. Check out ebay item no.160042221595. Please keep us posted on how it turns out.

It looks like you still have a temporary tag. That sucks. You have my luck. Two accidents in my life, both I was hit from the rear. The last one was by a guy who had nothing but a 72 Buick. No insurance, no drivers license, no job, just the 72 buick that he hit me with.

rocky777 · 10-24-2006, 04:02 PM

Yikes, so sorry. These pictures turn my stomach. Hang in there, your car will be good as new soon.
