Default ...Sigh..

I only have couple more months to have fun with my car
I am going to different country at the end of May this year and I will be away for a year or maybe i am not even coming back.

I still have more than 3 months but I am sad already..



I love everything that i put on so far, and I recently put navigation system on my car even though i knew i was gonna sell my car soon..

I feel like to put more stuff on my car before I sell it
Does that happen to u guys? or am i just stupid to waste $..?

I am SAD...

by the way.... 4 hours ago... i got into accident
snow storming right now...

damaged passenger side bumper






it has some scratch and dent on my hood where it touches headlight
seems like headlight pushed hood a little bit upwards...


and the driver's side,
there is hood gap...


Here is the story...

I was going straight on the road, and this guy comes out from gas station from opposite direction, crosses middle yellow line and slides to my lane, so i horned and flashed and hit the brake, changed my lane to far right but i couldn't slow down, the road was icy.. i was only going like 30~40mph and he still slides to my side
i tried to change lane to left to get away from accident but i hit him
i even tried to handbrake and change direction so my car will slide and rolls to other direction (maybe it was bad choice because it might have hit other car instead) but it kept going straight and bam... hit his rear side.
I told my insurance company about this and most likely my rate won't go up and its his fault since he crossed yellow lines
Geico is easy to deal with for me, I just changed to Geico like couple days ago and they are willing to pay and not increase my rates if the other person's insurance gives me hard time.

Stupid drivers....

Drive safe guys..

By the way... Now i wanna take a chance to get front bodykit and maybe headlights, and CF hood since all of those have to be replaced.
But I am gonna sell my car.. What should I do?
Change to stock parts? or change to other?

Not necessarily. The aftermarket parts will probably cost less than what the insurance company will cut him a check for so it would be worth it in that respect. I am sure Toyota will charge and arm for a new hood and the body shop will charge a leg to paint it. CF is just a few fingers.

To get back to stock, offer an even trade for anyone with the same color car for the OEM parts. You will get people jumping over themselves to pay nothing for a CF hood.

In the end, you will pay nothing extra and be able to go back to stock relatively easy.

what happens if you just don't go back to Korea? Would you get arrested on the spot if you ever tried to go back again?

true but I doubt he will have time to:

- order and buy after market pieces
- install them
- sell them
- replace with OEM parts

before may.

Well unless he wants to enjoy zero days with the after market stuff.
