Wow had it for less than 3 months.....and its ruined

[Firebird Phoenix]

Short story, my mom and I got into a big fight and I was planning on doing some errands anyways so I leave. I wasn't pissed, jsut not thinking, so when I backed out of my driveway(slowly) my drivers side quarter panel smashed into a truck parked infront of our house. I didn't even look since he didn't care(he was there) and drove over to my buddies house, and then I see the damage.....

A nice size SMASH into my quarter panel and it I was upset of course but seemed repairable. Till I notice everything on the drivers side is "pushed" forward.....front of door is "sticking" out about an inch and t-tops have a slight gap and so on and so on. At the end of my driveway it slopes down dramatically so my guess is the cause of the main damage was not the speed but all the weight transfering back. Idk i'm pissed.........in my eyes and probably an insurance company it is "totalled". Visually not that bad till you start noticing all the "Frame" damage. There goes my dream car (4th gen).....


So yeah.....idk what im going to do. I was on the way of installing subframe connectors(thats where I was going to do) and so on plans. I doubt I can even find another v6 manual (1998-2002) style for cheap. Just thought i'd share...........I'm off to search for firebirds
