My Challenger had a bad day today- wrecked

[FJ5_440]

Wow - I am glad that everyone is OK, but that really sucks.  I hope you can fix it.

Glad to hear everyone is ok but boy it just makes me sick to my stomach to see that happen to such a beautiful car.  I really feel for ya.  In the past ten years, I've been involved in two accidents.  In both instances I was stopped at a red light and was hit from behind and both times it was a woman who was distracted by her kids in the back seat.

Good luck, I hope things work out with the insurance and the repair.

Jay I am SOOOOO sorry to see/hear this...

Some kid tapped my rearend last summer and I only had a scratch.....I dreaded looking at it when I first got out the car...

does she have insurance I hope?

anything I can do to help, I'm in.

Bad-Bad-Bad, but the important thing is your OK!!

No don't get a new Challenger, Get the insurance money and repair the old girl up..

Glad everybody was ok.
I can't believe you are being so calm about this, those pictures make me sick
This is the reason why my car gets so little use, you can't drive for everybody else, I always try to leave room around me as a buffer. You know what? It takes all the enjoyment out of driving the car. I so wish Chrysler would make a new vert so I could buy one and enjoy it more.

I hope your car is able to be fixed "better" than it was!!

That sucks. Seeing the quarter/door damage and fuel tank damage is scary. How do the frame rails look?

[moparmaniac59]

Man,
I am so sorry about this. I get nervous driving mine sometimes thinking it might happen again. I've had it happen too. Your story sounds like what happened to CrazyPete just last year to his AAR. I hope this insurance takes care of it all and glad no one was hurt!!

Well that does suck.   But you know. every time I take mine out I am afraid that that will happen to me.   I think we all have the same feelings.  Hope all works out ok...............David

Wow dude that really sucks!! It makes me sick to look at it. After I realized that everyone was OK I would have been ready to rip someones head off. There is absolutley no excuse for rear ending someone in my book... Period!! At least it looks very fixable. Good luck!

I think the frame rails are OK but I haven't really checked them out too well yet. I'll check it out better tomorrow. I really don't want to even look at it at the moment. I kind of get that sick feeling in my stomach everytime I look at it as you can imagine.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I really appreciate it. I've got to believe things will work out.

I can understand that, when I wrecked my Challenger back in 2002 I couldn't look at it either. Hang in there, just don't let the insurance company jerk you around.

Jesus Christ man that full on Blows. 

Insurance has to pay, so I'd be turning that over to a good shop and have it all done. We are here for you man, just stick it out. Let us know what parts you need.

[Alaskan_TA]

Ouch!

My T/A got hit three times in six months, twice in the same fender, luckily it had not been repaired yet. That was over 20 years ago, but it still hurts & it was not nearly as serious as what happened to yours.

Man that sucks. Glad everybody is ok, hope insurance will make the vert ok again.

Honestly I'd take it to a body shop and say, "okay guys give me a quote". Then after her insurance gave what they would (with maybe a little help from yours) I'd have the body shop fix it lol. But that's me. I personally would be too frustrated too fix it considering it was just finished not too long ago.
