Damn I was just around that area not too long ago getting some dim sum XD Glad you're okay though. Being in that area though is like asking to be rear ended.. especially around Bolsa..

What, sun reflecting off his iPhone blinded him while texting? **** excuse. Sorry it happened.

I have four words for you. "INSURANCE PAID BODY-KIT".

That sucks, man

. Luckily, you weren't hurt (and the car wasn't too messed up).

Bummer. I used to always feel nervous driving in Westminster when I lived in Orange County. I had a lot of close calls there and tried to avoid it.

PapoZalsa · 10-30-2011, 09:36 PM

Sorry to hear that! Hope you are OK.

370zproject · 10-30-2011, 09:52 PM

glad your ok

This just means the insurance company can add language in the policy to exclude it, it doesn't mean your insurance company won't pay it in California. I would assume it would depend on who you are insured with.

Ooh sorry to hear about your accident. Good to hear it's not major, so hopefully it's just a replacement of the bumper cover.

USASF01 · 10-30-2011, 11:52 PM

Sorry about your car. I hate when people give you BS stories when they are in the wrong... just say: sorry dude i'm a stupid driver.

Z_ealot · 10-31-2011, 12:38 AM

just wondering if anyone know of any good collision repair shops in the orange county area, insurance company gave me a list of their top 5 approved body shops, but was wondering if anyone had any good experiences with any one in particular? the 3 that actually have names listed on their list are Hi-Tech collision, Imperial body shop and Cerritos auto body.

I took my car to Cerritos Nissan Collision Center. They did a good job on fixing my car after my accident. They have a lifetime warranty on the paint and they use OEM parts only.

LakeShow · 10-31-2011, 02:23 AM

Damn that sucks man, glad your alright...every time I touch my brakes I'm always watching my *** for those idiots who are texting, doing makeup, and have a McDonald's Big Mac shoved up their mouth and aren't paying attention.

The sunlight isn't and excuse the other driver can use. That means they were driving too fast for the conditions. Have a very good body shop examine your car, lots of damage could be underneath. File a claim.
