Unhappy My car got hit by mother trucker

On the way home from work, going on the 91 fwy, going on the #3 lane. The 18 wheeler getting cut off by another car who just entered the fwy and changed into my lane. I was honking at him for a few second, but he still moved over and the trailer collided into my. It took out my entire passenger side and the mirror and my front rim. Freaking mother trucker!!!

At least your ok. That is all easily repairable damage. And I would second what "onedirtyz" said, "time for new wheels."

yeah, we both pulled over. He wanted to only exchange info. I was like "hell no", I told him I need to get a police report. Dont trust the trucker espeically in a lane change accident. I dont want him to turn the story around and point finger at me. I waited like 45 mins for the police report. (Saw a few nice Z while I was waiting). Finally CHP got there. He told me that it wasnt my fault.

yeah, it wasnt like a T-bone acc. He was going only a little faster than me. I had no where to go but take that hit. I dont want to swerve into the next lane and hit another car, that would make it my fault for swerved into another lane.

Some new wheels would be nice!! Maybe some side skirt too

Dude, I saw you on the freeway! I was driving my Sentra. It was around 5:10 or so.

I think I saw you wearing some kind of glasses.

I thought it was a rear end collision because when I passed you, I saw no damage on the left side.

Hope you are okay and hope you get what you need to get your Z back up to par.

Now it's time to take advantage of the accident! Spend the money and get some aftermaket parts!!! Man.. I wanted someone to hit my front bumper so bad when it was stock. But somehow it just never happened. Looks like your rims are stock too? God bless insurance! Time to get some WORK(Forget about Volks)!
