OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

I'm driving.... about 45 minutes ago... to take pictures of what my new rims look like on my car. Some 16 year old bitch decides to pull out in front of me. I think about swerving... but her whole car takes up the road... nothing I could do. I can't even express to you what I'm feeling right now... I feel like beating the shit out of someone/something and screaming at the same time.

I knew instantly what had happened, I put my e-brake on... however my reaction was interesting. I got out and started screaming MY FUCKING CAR WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO!?!? before making sure she was ok... and she kind of lost it and started crying. It clicked then and I made sure she was ok and told her was just a material object and at least we were all ok. But inside I wanted to take my tire iron to her for taking away my favorite thing in the fucking world. FUCK!

Damn that sucks dude. Both air deployed too. Wonder if they will total it?

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Definitely not cool.

Isn't it generally a safe assumption that an insurance company will total a vehicle simply because of air bag deployment?

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Not always. If the reapir cost get close to or exceed 75% of the vehicle's value, they will total it.

Most of the time the vehicle gets repaired.

Have your car go through a flood where water reaches center console or dash level will get you totalled 99% of the time.

It does suck about the accident though. But the car definately looks repairable.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Its not as bad as I thought when you first told me, definitely sucks though! Your suspension looks to be unharmed which is a good thing, I bet it can be fixed.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

That sux!! If its totaled you can always buy it back. they usually sell them back pretty cheep you could probly fix it buy some mods with the extra money

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

not to bad it will need some frame rack time to get the horns straight.
but all in all the rims look good on it

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

For what its worth the rims look good.

What year is it? Both bags deployed, probably a new core support, hood fenders, bumper(support, and cover), and paint it will probably be totaled.

Sucks man, let us know how it turns out. Atleast you are both ok.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

It's a 98 GSX. I'm looking here and I hope it's not totalled. I fucking owe 8500 dollars on the loan still. And it looks like the suggested private party price on the mileage (76,000 miles) in "Good" condition is 7,135. And I'm assuming they're probably gonna do trade in value which is less, but can't remember. Man this day keeps getting worse and worse.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Holy shit, that sucks, especially if the insurance company does what you just described. I feel for ya man!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

That's why I got Gap Insurance on my car I had payments on. Do you have gap insurance? It's for exactly that, in case you're car gets totalled, and the amount of money they give you doesn't cover what you still owe, then they will pay it for you. That sucks to hear though, good luck with it all!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

That sucks man. When My car got totalled they gave me a pretty good deal. Hopefully it works out for you. You told me some of your plans and It sounded like it would have been a sweet car. Sorry man!!! BUT if they do total it then you should let me know ;).

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

I just realized those aren't the stock wheels! They look very similar in design :)

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

That sucks! I would buy the car back from the insurance company and fix it. You will make quite a bit of money from the looks of it. The damage doesn't look too terrible.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

shit.
I remember seeing your car in person at Wendy's. Fucking tight car meets dumbass.
I'm sorry to hear this man. Exact thing happened to my last car. I know exactly the feeling. Least the girl broke down crying. Mine started smiling telling me how much of an adrenaline rush it was.

I'm pretty damn sure that iron would feel good. I know mine would have.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

sorry dude that sucks!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

DAMMIT!!

Oh well, lets start over then.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Wow that really sucks!! Hope everything goes well on and you can just fix it back up. Man I would go ballistic on her too so dont feel bad ;)

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

That blows... I feel for ya man. Sorry to hear that. On the bright side, the rims look nice though and didnt look harmed!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Ohhh man! That sucks so bad! Reminds me of when I totalled mine. A little different scenario but eh. You got lucky though. Mine accident caused frame damage. I paid $7k for the car, drove it for like 5 months, totalled it, and only ended up getting $1450 back, including what the junk yard gave me. Wasn't even fixable so buying it back would have been a lost cause. The rims do look nice though. Women drivers :rolleyes:

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Sorry to hear about your car man!

Maybe that 3S is in you future afer all?

One way or another these dam DSM's make you crazy I swear......

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Good kill on that buick. Your car gets 72 virgins.

Its hard to tell from the pictures that she was at fault though.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Damn that suck. Very nice ride! Keep us posted one what ends up happening.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Hey I feel For you.. That sucks and all but then again you are ok.. It could always be worse, trust me i've been there when it was. Fix her if you can or move on if you can't you sound like you love this hobby and you'll be happy again with the car or a car once more.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, I'll definitely keep this updated. I had a friend that works at an autobody shop look at it today and he said there's no frame damage, the suspension is straight and whatnot. I took some more pics, the intercooler looks all messed up and the engine is pushed back. The window is cracked from the air bags and the core support is obviously fucked up along with all of the front panels. So it's going to be a close call whether they total it or not. I would definitely say the car is salvageable though. There is NO buckling beyond the front driverside of the wheel, the backend is in perfect shape it looks like frame wise.

Other than that I talked to an insurance agent that's a friend of mine as well. And she said that I can use the market value (to a certain extent) to up the price that they give me if they total it, but it's obviously up to them so that might be a fun battle.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

i'd get 'er fixed, on a lighter note, it seems like you had the wherewithall to take an artistic pic of the damage.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

that sucks!!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Ouch! That definitely sucks. Hope everything turns out well for you.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Damn! I don't like seeing 2gs all banged up, makes me sad inside =(. For sure let us know what happens!

BTW Rims look real nice!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

WOW that SUCKS. Hopefully everything will be repaired. Those RIMS look awsome on your car.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

sorry man. looks like it was nice.

I would be willing to be right now alot of money that they are going to want to total it.
hood, both fenders, bumper, support, stuff from motor moving back, airbags. A nice body shope would charge atleast 10 grand for that aloan down here, though it could be different up there.
It looks fixable and if you want you can do alot of the work yourself putting new parts on and save alot of money.
good luck,
Stuart

also BTW did it spin your car like 90degrees or were you on the crossroad?

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Yeah, I apologize buddy. Had the same shit happen after I spent 2 days and nights working around the clock piecing together my own turbo kit on my 95 RS. Week later it's worth 3/4 of the market value. Luckily I got the last quarter from selling it off as a parts car. I hope everything works out for you buddy. Good luck.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

No frame damage??? I'm sorry but I find that very hard to believe. Judging from the pics, the left side is definatly short, and I'd bet money that the whole front end is swayed to the left. it's definatly gonna need to go on the frame rack. Good luck on getting your insurance company to fix it.... Although, it is possible

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

OMG! that sucks man! thats a freakin nice as hell 2g too! good luck and good thing ya aint hurt

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

Just a quick update... my car is totaled.... I'll find out how much they'll give me hopefully today.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

You don't plan on parting the car out do you? :D

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

I might not buy it back... depends on how he offers me.

I am however in the market now (might start a seperate thread on the appropriate topic) but just wanted to say I'm looking for a Black 1993-1997 3000GT VR4 with decent miles < 90k on it and preferably close to stock. Price range is 12k-20k... don't want to spend more than that and I'm willing to fly up to about 1000 miles away.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

well at least you got the pictures of the car with those new rims!!

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

You are lucky, i rolled a truck about 7 months ago, walked away with 2 cuts on my knee, a sore back, and leg muscles so sore i couldn't walk. Rolled it doing only 10 or so miles per hour, caught a ditch sliding sidways in a raised truck.

Still have headaches to this day, but lucky thing is.... insurance company didn't raise my rates. Hope they don't do that with you as well.

I'd forget buying it back if you getting a VR4, or other 3kgt. Nothing will really swap over. so save the money and effort for the new car.

Re: OMFG I'm about to punch something..!?
 

sorry to hear man.
