:( My cordia is dead as off July 7 2006 at 1:00pm.

The story is I took a right turn at a light and started to pick up speed. I got maybe 200yards and the truck in front of me stopped vary quickly to make a left turn (remember here in the US we drive on the left of the car and on the right lane.) I was able to stop in time but the van behind me wasn't able too. I heard screeching tires and looked up in the read view mirror just in time to see nothing but the hood of the van and smash. He hit me so hard I slide into the truck in front of me. The trailer hitch of the truck went throw my front body kit, intercooler and the radiator and pushed it all up against the front of my motor and turbo.(I don't know if the turbo or motor is damaged because the car staled and I didn't try to restart it) The hole front end is crushed in. The back is smashed in even worse the back bumper, tail lights, hatch, exhaust, tag holder and all the metal behind it is smashed. The impact was so great it transferred from the rear into the wood floor in the truck and pushed the back seats forward. (bass system is ok) the rear quarter panels are wrinkled really bad, the worse I've ever seen, and the doors were stuck closed.

I took some pictures of the aftermath and will post them as soon as possible.

The good news is no one was hurt and the guy that hit me has insurance.

But it looks like I'm out of the cordia game for good now :( damn and I really loved my cordia. :cry: :pale: i think I'm going to be sick :cry:

You know you are very lucky, just imagine this happened after you did a brand spanking new paint job, it would make matters and feelings even worse. lucky you havent spent big on it .

Car accident is exactly what it is, its just unfortunate, but thats life, car ia a car, you can always get another car, but not urself.

howz your civic going.

What do you say cordiaturboowner, you reckon you can sell me and send the parts. If possible the full front cut.

Is your engine on your car spun 180 degrees, making the camshaft on the right strut side.
