I just had quite the crash. A old woman pulled a U turn on a side street, and came back into my lane. Her ford focus drivers side met the front end of my civic at 55mph. Heres some pics of my civic. Not sure how extensive the damage yet, insurance to look at it today....

Ouch! Hope everybody was okay after that. I had a fender bender a month after buying mine back in '01. Damage was mostly cosmetic, but looked worse than that. Total repair bill was over $5000. Mostly because it was a new car and prices on parts was high.

This is a prime example of why the elderly need to take a yearly driver's test after a certain age. Sorry about your car. Who's car won in terms of damage?

here's a good question... did the airbags inflate? if they didnt, then the damage should mostly be cosmetic..

hell yea i think so. Too many older drivers causing too many wrecks. One of them in a new trailblazer decided to side swipe my sister. 4000 in damage.

At 55 mph yer car is totalled d00d the front end has crumple zones that'll crush in a 20mph head-on. yer fender has been pushed back so it looks like the front frame has been compressed several inches. The headlights don't line up either, the passanger side is back further. Frame bent = totalled :\

Hope the bitch died....JK, but really dumb people should die off while the smart ones live and prosper....sorry i just have very little patience for stupid people, the kind of people that think its a good idea to run a stop sign or pull a U turn in the middle of the road.

EXACTLY, you hit the nail right on the head. I remember when i has in 9th grade my grandma needed help taking a package to the post off which was less than 1/2 mile away from her house. It took us 15 minutes to get there and 15 back. Thats the day i really started disliking elderly drivers. Countless times i have got stuck behind old people doing 10, 15, and even 20 mph UNDER the speed limit for no reason. Its even more dangerous on roads that have 60+ mph speed limits and you come flying up on some old lady doing 35. They have a false sense of how fast they're going and how fast other drivers are going, they can't judge distance accurately and they're reaction time is horrible and there timing is WAAAYY off. Old people and nice and kind but on the road they are my worst enemy rivaled only by ricers and soccer moms.

good luck with repairs bro. Pick a good reputable shop (ask your friends where they went and then check out ther rides, how well the repair quality was).

im ok, lower back pain (gonna get her for that one $$$) i have brought all my cars to the same body shop, they do great work, hope its not totaled, gonna find that out later this week. i was kinda dizzy after the accident, and sat down for awhile, and by the time i was going to look at her car the cop wanted to talk to me. while talking with him, her car was already on a lift and outta there. She was stopped, I hit her, pushed her a good 5-10feet, and i left about 15ft of skid marks, i hit the drivers door and part of the back door, so i probably really messed hers up, its probably angled to the drivers side. I will update this as i get more, might post the police report once i get it. It occured in MICH, that matters because they have a 'no fault' insurance. Even thou im from OH, THey pay there deductible to get theirs fixed, and i have to pay mine to get mine fixed. Most at this point that she will pay is her ticket(s) and her deductible. I'm going to the lawyer about that thou.

It sure sucks... but I am amazed over and over again how well these things handle collisions. I feel relatively safe in there seeing thats all that happened from a 55mph crash.
