u never thought u'd get into a car accident? what an idealist.

 

unfortunately, that's probably about 3-4k worth of damage... unless your insurance company is truly bogus, they won't fault you for the accident... in hindsight, you should have immediately contacted the police to file an accident report... this, along with their investigation (haha), would have been sufficient to file a no fault claim... this would fall under your comprehensive and not collision... and they can't up your rates for that...

now, you're kinda behind the 8 ball... either you file and take your chances on an rate hike...or pay the 3-4k out of pocket...

 

Glad you're ok and sorry the hear about the damages. Accidents sucks but they happen to everyone and sometimes the best of us too.

 

Very sorry to hear that. Don't forget to update the thread with new pics once she's all fixed up!

 

Glad to see you two are alright. The damage doesn't look that bad, but it will be an easy 2-4k.

 

sorry to hear that bro.

 

 

Well a lot of people have crashed on this road, and a well liked comedian's son was killed there changing a flat tire . At one time there was almost no traffic, no crossroads and no people there and it was a great place to, ahem, exercise your car. One part was paved and the other part was dirt which was fun on a dirt bike. The cops watched this road and rumour was that the Datsun 510 club would block off the road and race both sides. If you had all the turns memorized few people could keep up with a 240z on that road!

 

thanx for a little history


as far as the price to fix it i have alot of hook ups i already asked one place and they told me just for the body its a grand. for now im not going to even touch the body. im just going to get the mechanical parts looked at for now. and possible fix those. its just that this happend at a bad time for me because im in a icky finacial situation.

 

No, never thought it would happen to me, meaning my Z.

 

I would claim Hit and Run, say you were about to get ran into, and swerved out the way

 

Wow, good to see you are okay. Hope your car will be fixed in no time.

 

Sadly, this is so true. Even insurance companies say that it's better to get hit by the other car so that they are at fault, rather than to try avoiding the accident only to hit something yourself, at which point becomes your fault. It's really unfortunate. I'd still go through insurance for that level of damage. It's going to cost 5000+ to fix all that, and the hit you'd take on your insurance (if they decide to raise your premium) should work out to less than 5000 over three years.

 

sorry to hear that man, hope everything turns out alright

 

man, that sucks. Did the other guy stop or somthing?

 

The turned steering wheel thing just happened to my car. I didnt hit anything but some of the crumple zones in my rear suspension are well crumpled. My VDC and SLIP light both turned on as well but it drove fine on the way out to the dealership. And as for damages 1500 for parts + labor so around 2200.

I think you will end up paying more for the damages then the increase in your insurance in the long run.

 

^^ Looks as though the guard rail did its job, but unfortunately also did quite a job on the side of your car. Bummer. You handled the car and the situation well. I suspect your driving skills saved you and your gf.

Just curious: VDC on? --Spike

 

Facing another vehicle head-on is frightening. Good to hear that you are OK.

 

Sorry to hear, dude. Glad you're okay. Post some before/after pics when she's fixed up.

 

sorry about that man, keep us posted
