My 7's Final Day..?
This morning around 10:15am I was heading to work. I was heading down the regular street I usually take and cruising at about 40mph. I was in the far right lane and there was a white truck/SUV in front of me about 2 cars ahead. All of a sudden, he decided to slam on his breaks and weave to the left avoiding a parked car that he somehow didn't happen to see. At this point I see the car and realized that even if I slammed on my breaks I wouldn't make it, so I tried to move into the left as he did, but the f*cker slowed down, KNOWING I was behind him, and left me no room. In short, I slightly hit the back left fender of the parked car (old old car), then lost control. At this point I slammed off to the right side, hitting the curb, bounched off the curb again just to hit it once more, I wasn't on the ground enough to brake, finally I slid to the side to a stop. My car is wrecked. The front is completely destroyed. My front bumper is off and damaged, those plate it bent in, the front right fender is damaged as well as the door on the passenger side, the front right wheel & tired are completely destroyed, whatever suspension in the front or anything around it is damaged, and my frame is bent in bad, my electric fan is almost touching the motor. Besides that, everything else is great 
.
Although, I fear this might be the end. I had just bought $1000 worth of parts from suspension to HID lights to a weber 48DCOE carb with manifold and everything and now I feel it's to a waste. I don't know what i'm going to do because this was my only car. I will post pictures later. Wish me luck

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, man, but at least you're okay. From the sounds of it, it may be gone. Frame damage is something that a lot of people feel it's best to strip the car of parts and get another one.
Hope the best for you, and please do post pics.

That is most displeasing.... Find a shell and you can transplant everything over.
That still sucks some monkey nuts though, being your only car.
my deepest condolences

Well, here are some pics from earlier, I still am going to take a few more tomorrow to show how bad the frame was bent inside.
Not sure what's going to happen or what I'm going to do yet.
EDIT: For those who didn't know or haven't seen, this is what she looked like before the accident..
