Well my sister is the Lucky driver who got this car for her 16th birthday!!!! and let me tell you, I drove it for about a month and OH MY!!!! so much fun!!! ...But the "Ronald McDonald Mobile" as my family calls it, has been in an accident..Its not bad..just some cosmetic work to fix her up!!! but still...

SO here's the story...My sister was driving down the feeter road of I45 south and at the part she was at theres 3 lanes..one entering the feeter then the other 2...well she was in the center lane and the older car in front of her went to get in the left lane and almost cut someone off so he did a 360 in front of her..and she kinda swirved to miss him...and in turn the Honda next to her met with her front bumper...and ITS ALL TEARS FROM THERE!!!... My sister was so scared and pulled over crying cause she thought the Honda left...and she couldn't find her..but the car that caused the accident stopped with her just to see if she and my other sister was ok.. she was scared and said "Yea..we're ok...not hurt..." and she didn't even think to exchange info with him or get his plate number...and he left in quite a hurry. I was 5 minutes up the road when my other sister that was in the car called me when it happened and I told her to have him stay..but he was gone by the time I got there... Well I call my Sheriff friend and he gets someone dispatched out there... Well..long story short..we find the Honda..and Of course the officer who got the Honda's info comes up already with a bad head of the 16 year old driver of a hot shot car! well...I'll cut it short now lol! Because the other car left..they did not have the guy who caused the accident..so my sister got the ticket for an unsafe lane change...

HERE ARE THE PICS.... (sorry in advance for them being so big...I don't know how to down size them...)













My mom's fiance has already gotten a lot of the dints out and black pant from the Honda off...Just needs some more lovin'!

Thank you Tricia. I forgot how to post pictures and everything. I will get pictures up here. But I am still trying to get money to get the corner light and put it in there. And I am trying to find anybody that can match up the best they can for the yellow paint. (There is a scratch on there from the accident that is bothering me badly.) I am sorry you guys. I tried to avoid getting hit or hitting the guy that did a circle infront of me but it looks like I just caused damage anyways.

That sucks.
Glad no one was hurt, other than the car.

sorry to hear about the car, glad noone was seriously hurt.

bites, im from spring.. and i've never seen that car around. BTW u should bring that car to the next HACGP.com mod day

Cool car, and glad to hear everyone was ok.

Alright today I am going to be taking pictures of what it looks like now with the little repair that was done to it. Still looking for the same corner light and and HID lightbulb, well I believe is an HID lightbulb, but I will check. Feel free to e-mail me or message me with any questions you have on how the car is. But knowing me, it will be me asking the questions!

Ouch!!!

We'll let you off this one time only! Just kidding!! It's an accident. It happens.

As long as you and your sister are safe.

Yeah we are safe. I'm upset about it, but making the money to fix it. But. I'm off to work on my baby some more. Anything specific you guys want a picture of?

I know how you feel. I've been there. It sucks major a$$!!

You should buy a set of the Aftermarket corners in clear. That would really look good on that car, and give it one more custom touch. They are cheaper to buy two of those, than it is to buy one OEM replacement.

Give ebay a shot for the side marker lamp.

Seriously? Awesome. Thank you!

This is not about the accident but I do have a question on something.

There is a short to where my interior lights do not work... Still.... They never worked when I got her either. Just wondering where I might start looking? Do you know of where I can buy an HID light bulb perhaps?

For the interior lights, try the wires going to your dimmer stitch, or the switch itself. Not sure how expensive the switches are but you could try that, but you might also try looking for a fuse that is blown. Is it just the instrament cluster, or the whole dash, radio, etc.?
Try the fuses first, then go to the swithc. Those should be the two weakest links in the system.

As for the HID bulbs, I would just go to Wal-Mart and buy a new set of Silverstars for the car. I would get the set of two so that you know you have them both the same, and keep the good bulb you have for an extra. Remember, not to touch the bulb. If my memory serves me correct, I believe bulb size is 9007, but you might pull your bad one to double check.

Well... Thats the thing.. It has three wires and it comes with a whole kit. You either buy a new kit or get a light bulb lol. Perhaps I should just take the lighting out and replace it with a new?

Thank you for you help, so much!

Are you just talking about the Headlamp bulb???

If so, It doesn't look like you have actual HID headlamps from the pictures. It looks like you just have the replacement bulbs, that are a bunch brighter than factory. If this is the case, then just by a set of replacement bulbs ( $40 )

OMG THANK YOU! Where at? My step dad said they were so I was like.. That's a lot.

You should be able to get them @ Wal-Mart, or AutoZone or any other auto parts store that you prefer. You can even get them on ebay if you like.
Just to be certain that it is just the bulb you need, take out your pass. side headlamp, the one that isn't broken, and take the bulb out.

Just two 10mm bolts that hold the headlamp in, and then slide it to the outside, and front of the car @ the same time to get the complete headlamp and turn signal assembly out. Then, the fitting for the headlamp bulb should just twist off and the bulb, and socket should pop out. Again, don't touch the actual glass of the bulb, as this will make it not work. I would try placing that bulb into the driverside hlp. to see if it works. If so, then all you need is a replacement set of bulbs, and you're golden.

Cynthia, if you have high beams there's a good chance you do not have HID's. If I recall the car has the upgraded headlight harness which makes the headlights brighter.
If you can open the hood and get us a pic of the top side/back of the headlight housing, we should be able to help you decide if you have HID's.

...and I think you should get a new set of clear corners instead of just one oem T/S housing.

Alright alright hold on. I've been to autozone and I bought a regular lightbulb that the guy said should work. But when my step dad and I took it off and finally got to the lighting, he said that it wasnt. Now I am not quite sure what you are wanting tme to take a picture of. Forgive me for being brainless about cars, mind has been on other more important things.

This has to be a a Catz HID it says so... it's the full Kit. That or else I'm just dumb. Sorry I don't know how to make them smaller. I used photobucket.




Oh an the black is almost gone. Need a lot of work though. Some of the bumps we got out, I believe came back. which sucks, but will get it done.

Well, that pic proves it... HID's.

Ah crap... Do you know where I can buy the BULB?

Try calling 800-523-3548 and ask them if they have replacement bulbs. Pull the bulb from the pass side and see if it has any numbers on the base. Don't touch the glass with your fingers. If the pass side bulb has any numbers on it, you'll want to have that with you when you call. Be prepared to fork over a lot of money for a set of bulbs. I've found some from looking around on the e-net that appear to be under $200 for a set of bulbs, but I'm not sure if they are the ones you need.
If they can't help you ask them if they know of anyone who can.

Alright, will do. Thank you for your help. I greatly appreciate it. I already have one light pulled and it is at my step dad's so I will have to do all of this Friday. Until then I suppose all I can do is try to fix what I can with the car. Though I'm afraid I will break something.

Cynthia,
Sorry for the mix up, by looking @ the previous pictures, I thougt for sure that you had regular headlamps, w/ brighter bulbs.

Good thing Austin is here to set everything straight.

Tks. Bro

Hey, I didn't think she had HID's either, but the HID ballast was proof positive.

Lol. Awesome you guys. You two are the biggest help really. And thank you for helping me out aat clubgp I can't figure out why they wont accept me in there. I believe I should be able to defend myself against the immature "spoiled brat" comment and the cell phone comment. Considering I do not talk on the phone unless it is an emergency. But yeah. Oh well then. Don't judge a book by it's cover, correct?

There's always a deeper story within.

I have never been a member @ any other sites, but I have read into some of the post, and I can tell you this, I learned really quickly that everyone is accepted in this forum. Don't matter what kind of GP you drive, or even if you don't anymore, all info. is appreciated from everyone.

They're jealous. Plus I find that most of the members over there if they don't know what to do they latch onto something and just showcase their idiocy.

Oh, well how lovely is that. Oh I checked the fuses and none of them are blown or broken or anything. So that can not be it. Thank you though. And I will check the wiring with my step dad considering he works on his vette all the time, then he might know some about wiring and help me with my car.

Some of you guys need to get on my sister about not changing her oil herself. Instead of letting me do it, she spends money on it. Heh, I think you all should help me convince her to stop and just let me do it.

That sucks, good luck with everything!

Just remember that accidents happen.

Thank you! Yeah, everybody keeps telling me that. But I always figured I would never get in an accident, especially with this car. And I did.

Just kind of makes me mad at myself. But thank you.

UMMM Cyn!!! I don't spend money on having it changed anymore lol! Quin does it thank you very much!!!

and I just wanted to say sorry about not posting anything in a while...we've been having some family issues since the new year..and haven't really had time to keep up on here..although I have browsed around a little from here to there! I just thought eveyrone would wanna know about what happened to the "Ronald McDonald Mobile" aka the former pfyc.com car!!! (I love teaseing Cyn about that!!! ) we should be around more often now..things are "starting" to settle down for us....

Haha, yeah yeah. When you take your lazy butt to his house to do it! When I am only fifteen minutes away and he is an hour!! And the teasing doesn't bother me now. Except the buy me a horn with the McDonald theme song to it... I never want to hear anybody say that again.

Quin's is about 30-45 minutes away...remember I drive the Grand Prix that doesn't stick out as bad as a sore thumb!!! haha Jk!

OH Yea! we are SOOO Buying you a horn with the McDonald theme song...."Badabababaaaa I'm LOVIN' IT!!!!!"


Oh! and I'm going to try and get Cyn's car in a actual McDonald's commercial!!!!! after she gets her all fixed up!!! it's gonna be awsome if I can!!!

See what she is doing to my car? LOL

That would be cool to get your car in the McDonalds commercials though

Lol sure pick her side. I am sure people all over the world would want to kill me. O.O; Haha.

hey, i think the Mc D's commercial idea is pretty cool. Good luck with that. LOL

Haha Alright then.

Hey thanks!! heehe..i can't wait to try it!!!

I wonder where you would go about getting a horn like that...

right here
http://www.carcoverkingdom.com/RECORD-A-HORN-375-wolo82/
all you would have to do is find an MP3 version of the song and then record it onto the horn.

Oh my god. Stop helping her out! Lol. I am not getting that horn.

But I do have the corner light and a few more dents taken now. I still need to find somebody who can try and match the paint, the best they can or something. Anybody know where I might find one?

here is the number for a shop in Houston called RUSH ask for a guy named Marcel 281-687-6876. He should be able to match the paint. The number is his cell phone.

Thank you so much! Will do that tomorrow!

so how is the search for a paint shop going?

Now that is one sweet lookin car. Yeah, I'm jumpin on this thread a little late, but I'm never in Everything Else. Sorry to hear you were so upset, but it's better the car than yall. Lookin forward to seeing your car in a commercial, horn and all. That would be even sweeter than a 67 Charger with a horn that plays "Dixie". Good luck repairing the GP, yall.

It's not going well because my mother refuses to allow me to call anyone even the number I was given until a later time. So It's not going on too well. Sorry for being on late, it keeps me signed in but I do not get on that much!

why wont she let you call anyone to get the car fixed?

I do not know. I wanted to see how much it would cost in order for it. But she told me not to call just yet. So I am sure she has her reasonings. I will call asap though.

dont let her take it to any crap chain paint shops.

x2 that is way too custom a job for just anyone to be handling

I know. I am going to be calling that guy that I was given the number to. I just need to talk to her about it before anything.

any news on the new paint job haven't heard anything in a while?
