Not sure if this is the right forum/area to post in, but then again I'm talking about my car

I'm feeling alright I think, don't think any part of me got messed up or anything.

Not sure what hit me since it was at night, but it was a..
-Toyota
-early 90's?
-4 door
-brownish pinstripes (see pic)
-has front end damage, mostly on the right side, front corner's broken, front corner of the fender ripped off/is on my car, i'm sure there's black scuffs on their car as well coming from my car
here's a pic of the parts..

anyone happen to know what kind of car it's from? i know it's a toyota cause the piece i got says so.. the way i put the corner lens is the way it should be (toyota wording along the bottom)

well here's the story
7:50ish P.M. on my way back from school
Got hit while making a left into my neighborhood. It was at a 4 way stop sign when it was my turn, I turned left, halfway through the turn a car just rams into the passenger side of me. I went into my neighborhood to make a u-turn/pull over, a car was in the way half way doing the u-turn waiting for his right of way to go and they ran off, and I couldn't spot them in time or catch up. I couldn't get the plate # or anything, this is all I have.

I have a feeling this car is around near me somewhere, at least within the Moreno Valley & Perris area. If any of you guys find a vehicle that fits this description let me know, I'm at least looking for the license plate #, any help's appreciated, thanks

That really sucks dude! Your car was sweet. I know what its like, my jeep got hit at school the other day, just had it out for a week to move and then it gets hit.

are there any part numbers or partial part numbers? If so run them at toyota, it could help get you closer.

I would try and find a toyota specific junkyard and show them the stuff you have.

Since they deal with that shit all day they might be able to tell you.

GL and sorry to hear about your car.

I am just going to guess, but it could be a Toyota Cressida, it some what fits your description. That really sucks that someone would hit a car and just take off. Hopefully you have uninsured motorist coverage..

Damn, that's messed up. This past Sunday, some lady reversed into my driver's side fender, while it was parked on the street. My neighbor ran outside, and the driver of the car, was like "It doesn't look like there is any dagmage". Then drove off, like nothing happened. Good thing for me, my neighbor took down the license plate. Told me about it, so I called the cops. Here's the kicker though: Since my car had expired tags, and was parked on a public road, the cop had to tag my vehicle, before I would be able to make a report. Gotta wait to see what comes of it. I really hope you catch those fuckers that banged you, since what they did was a felony offense. I hope they get to spend a long time in jail. They could have killed you, those kinds of people deserve to get shot.

i dont know if im gona make an ass outa myself. but that looks like it came off a toyota cresida. or something of that sort. ill keep an eye out. i live in menifee/sun city area. were you at msjc in hemet? also wheres your housing track. i think he was illegal. 1. its moreno valley/perris right? 2. he didnt have insurance cuz he was illegal. i got in a hit and run before. and my insurance covered it as a non insured motorist colition or some bs like that. well good luck man. if your interested in a zenkie swap + cash your way let me know. there already black. and ill have them resprayed for you(small chips in bumper) sorry bout this unfortunate event man. good luck..

Damn that sucks. Not trying to make it sound worse but the car could of been stolen and taken for a joyride and after they hit you they ditched the car but the good news is if they got caught already you can pin them. Good luck.

^Right on!

Damn man.

That sucks pretty bad.

Atleast the damage looks pretty repairable.

Junkyard an S14 door, and hope the hinges aren't bent.

GL!

I know this doesnt help at all, but how were you not able to catch up? Honestly I wouldve chased their ass's down and even more if its an old beater car??? But yeah sorry to hear, just look at it this way, you can re-buy car parts but not your health, good thing your alright.

should've done a hardcore 180degree burnout and chassed after him.


seriously though that sucks. i would've stopped dead and gotten outta the car in the middle of the intersection and gotten his plates before doing a turn around.

Oh man this sucks. I was gonna chime in with the fact that it could be an old Lexus also (their parts are still stamped Toyota) but if the Cressida matches up, it's probably correct.

God that sucks... it actually hurts me inside. Owie.

What about older 90-91 'lowered' lexus es250?

The light bezel fits & the shape is better match than either tercel or corolla...

http://i8.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/ac/74/2df5_1.JPG

Older versions of lexus share some of the parts under "toyota" name.
Not sure if the light is branded as toyota.

They come with stripes too..

Here's a cressida - also a pretty good match but that corner light looks bit small..

dam n dude sorry to hear that, i keep hearin about more and more illegals gettin into hit and runs and nothing getting done about it.

Pank
10-03-2007, 12:56 PM
apparently that side marker was used on every single damn toyota car from 89-99, call around to body shops, see if they've had someone come in with the same car, to get it fixed

ugh that shit sucks man.....why run? Just own up to what u did.

in any case most accidents occur pretty close to home so theres a good chance that guy lives close to you. I wonder if the registry would release the names of owners with that make and model in your area to you.....probably not but who knows. Should have called the cops right after, anyway good luck with that man....karma will hunt that guy down
