    Its probably not good on your tranny, but it saved my ass once... Doing about 30 in 3rd, i was maybe a car length behind this guy in front of me (too close to begin with) and he was maybe 1/4 back from the car in front of him, well the car in front of him decided he was going to turn right at the last second so the guy in front of me couldnt stop in time and rear ended him. So instinctively i hit the breaks, and they started to lock... while doing this i dumped it into first and popped the clutch, rough ride but i saved myself from an accident.


    Sucks to hear about yours, it seems like somebody wrecks their 3g every week.

    Wow dude i forgot that was your car.... that really sucks. Ive been in that situation before and i had locked em up then quickly realized it was gonna be an ugly situation (probably woulda been injured bad if i did hit) was going like 65 and traffic was stopped about 8 car lenghts up coming around this bend... i didnt see it, so i was sliding straight when i locked em up, and just knew it wasnt gonna help me so i got off the brakes within about a car length and blindly swerved over 2 lanes... Wasnt the best of odds but it was sure better than a crash for sure... saved my ass.

    aww it doesnt look so bad from the pics...

    new hood, bumper, left headlight, left fender, and left corner... your set... it would help if you got some pics with the hood up though... thats what we really need to see

    youre probably going to have to chain up the front end to a tree to pull the front out... it should come out just fine. Id reuse the bumper and most of the parts except for the hood maybe depending on how bad it is. I think it looks pretty easy to fix and shouldnt take too long to do hopefully

    aw man u can make it. just a fender, a hood, take your scoop off.
    if it was me i'd try and fix that kitted bumper too so i wouldnt have to get another one.
    i've been in a few wrecks too dawg, but you can bounce back.
