=(

R.I.P. 12/18/10

To make things worse, my gf ordered me the EVO-R Carbon Fiber side mirror covers for christmas. If anyone is interested, i have to let them go. Its still in the box, comes with 3M double sided tape.

Painful to look at. But your ok?

VaGntlmn · 01-02-2011, 10:24 PM

man that sucks.
Hope that does mean that you and your gf are okay.

Jesus Christ Man, I can't believe this happened, By the sounds of it you're OK? And thats the main thing, Has the insurance looked at it, and whats going to happen? Total or is it going to be repaired? It doesn't look to clear on any frame damage from the pic? What a way to bring in the new year?

Yeah, I'm okay, the airbags kept me from banging into anything.
But, my girlfriend dislocated her elbow, so she was rushed to the ER. She handled it quite well though, surprisingly.

After i hydroplaned, i hit the guardrail a few times in a spin. After the car stopped moving, 1 minute later, a FJ Cruiser slams into us. Causing a few more spins, and my driver side front wheel to break into 10+ pieces. The towing company and CHP couldn't find that wheel anywhere because it was demolished.

I was a bit traumatized, i couldnt drive in the rain or sit inside a car that was in the rain...

Yikes dude. So sorry to hear (and see) but it looks like everyone involved was OK? I'm assuming the car is a total loss. Definitely looks like it.

Ouch.

Well, it definitely could have been much worse. Glad you guys are OK.

I've been calling the insurance guys everyday, they still havent declared if it is a total loss. The guys who towed my car said that it was a total loss. There was frame damage where that chunk was missing, only after the FJ hit me though.

I have full coverage, so hopefully they'd compensate enough for me to pay off the car.

Sad to say, but i might be going Subie WRX after.

sorry to hear, glad you are ok

Yeah man, any time you have any significant frame damage the car is done. I can tell from that picture that the car was done, so I wouldn't sweat it about your insurance company trying to fix the car.

BennytheBlade · 01-02-2011, 10:48 PM

Well, as long as your ok and show us what you pick out, thats all that matter 8)

ncheung85 · 01-02-2011, 10:52 PM

Damn that sucks. The way you describe the accident...it could have gone really bad.

Glad everyone is ok.

daisuke149 · 01-02-2011, 10:54 PM

yikes. glad your okay man. Thats a scary thing to go through.

2004YZFR1 · 01-02-2011, 11:14 PM

Glad that you and your girl are ok! You should check into buying the car back from the insurance company and parting it out. You could get some good extra coin to go toward your next ride. Good luck!

ChrisSlicks · 01-02-2011, 11:15 PM

Damn. I think the car held together pretty well structurally considering, definitely totaled though. Glad your ok.
