Rear Ended, Car Totaled, What Next

B&W_Evader · 07-17-2019, 09:49 AM

First off... I'm fine, no worries.
Got rear ended on the highway when traffic suddenly stopped. Crushed the rear end broke the tail light but didn't damage the fenders. Brake light stayed on after impact. Must be some frame damage in there. I even put a dent in the headliner with my head. If your tall, get rear ended and feel the metal in the roof reinforcement with your head you've probably damaged the head liner.
Looking for recommendations for upgrades.

Glad you are ok. I'd get another Z. One with a Fast Intentions Twin Turbo kit

I'd love that but...California. I'll be staying within CARB restrictions.

Budget would help..
R8 v8s are getting pretty (relatively) inexpensive.

GTRs are also getting affordable

I have just been through being rear ended myself. Totaled car and 2 herniated disk, one requiring surgery. If the insurance money is not there, you better have uninsured/under-insured motorist.

Sorry to hear that. Not sure how the tort laws work down here, but if this happened in NY, NJ CN or MA, you pretty much hit the lottery.

No amount of money is worth a bad back, but it beats a bad back and no money.

I was on a Jury where a dude was rear ended by a Dr. He went straight to a lawyer after the accident. Didnt see a Dr. for a few days after the accident. Then had tons of therapy with a chiro.
He claimed that he couldnt stand or sit for prolonged periods of time, couldnt play with his kids like he used to, etc. Was suing for 30k+.

He sat on his @ss the whole 3 days of the trial. Showed no discomfort. Needless to say, deliberation was quick, he lost. Awarded him less than 2k.

I’m talking about the people that are legitimalnly injured.

I have no use for the thieves that game the system with slip and falls and chiropractic claims.

Nobody fakes surgery on their neck, and should be compensated for it.

Happened to me last year. Won't lie i was going to sit on my payout but got a killer deal (under msrp + 1.5% finance rate due to company benefits) and got the 19 nismo (my 19 build in 18) last september.

Slapped on a fi exhaust last week and holy sheet. Handling is perfect for street. Exhaust gives le burble pops and nice noise but not wtf was that.

Do it!
