To start off..my friend asked me to come out i was bored at home so i went out,
i drove around for a few (i had 2 friends in the car) i dropped one home because he had to go home and eat. The other friend was able to stay out, we went out, so over here in staten island if anyone knows theres a place called seaview hospital by rockland and brielle ave. Its a haunted old mental instituion. So i wanted to show him another way of getting there because he thought it was only one way. I made a wrong turn because i thought i was on the right street. But then found out i made the wrong turn, so i went to a neighbor hood street and made a u turn and turned back. Now as im coming back i had to turn into the turning lane and i was going kind of a little downhill, everytime i go downhill i throw the car in neutral i never leave it in gear because im not touching the gas pedal. So what happens is im slowing down, and theres cars completely stopped, so i slowed down more..its not helping..now i stomp on the brake, and the last second i use my handbrake..i thank god my car was low, i went under a 04 camry. My hood shot up but my bumper was under his car, my hood hit his bumper he got a little scratch marks and such, but me...my hook caved in with my lights..i don't know what else. I don't know if there was oil on the floor or something but, my friend ran up the hill and then walked down it and slid. Now it wasn't really "Raining" today, it was muggy, and little drops here and there..but thats it. So now basically my car is running fine, i reved it after the accident, i made sure no leaks were coming out as i was reving it, i moved it forward, backward, no leaks i saw. So im hoping im praying to God, all that is wrong is my radiator got pushed back, and all they need to do is re-align it, and if nething bang the hood down and just put the lights back. So when i have the money i can purchase a new hood & lights...but 2 accidents..only 1 month apart..just love it..just love it :frown:

This makes no sense. If you left the car in gear it would have maintained a constant speed until you hit the gas or brake. Why take it out of gear? Plus having the car in gear might have helped you stop.

well heres the good news..kind of..instead of getting an oem hood, and lights, i might as well just get carbon fiber hood (cheaper, seeming i wouldn't have to buy a primed hood and have it repainted, and take the chance it won't match the car) also for headlights i saw i can get black euro lights

its your own fault for hitting that car. did you leave a card with your name on that car? cause i am pretty sure if you were the owner and found a scratch on your car you'll be pretty pissed.
just learn how to drive proper, if you cant see there is a stopped car on the street and brake on time, you might need some glasses too.

yeah but he never said that was the cause so just wondering if he checked it . cause his brakes didnt work but the E-brake did? so just wanted to know.

nothing worked..my car didn't stop in time, i believe there was oil on the floor also i don't know thats what my father told me when i came. well anyway im going to post pics in about 2 seconds. I do no how to drive properly, it was raining that day and if i was doing 10 mph, i know to go slow in the rain. It was hard to stop seeming i was going downhill. And i didn't just leave the guy i stood there for 2 hours. I don't do hit and runs.

nah manny, i had a rwd car for 3 years, i dealth with rain, snow, hail, and i never had an accident, again with the prelude.
if you are unsure of whats ahead, take all the precautions.
who cares if other ppl think you are a newbie driver, in the end you are gonna save yourself and your car.

Wow I was about to say man dumb luck looked like you hit another car:eek: . Turns out they were just parked really close in the photo.:tongue:

Looks alot better hope it holds out in the future I would say leave it in gear down hills. I think us older guys (by that I mean in the 30's) leave the car in gear and use the motor to slow the vehicle down. Maybe its a force of habbit for me as I am a Commercial Driver.
