My shitty luck streak continues damn it.

JamieSophia14 · 05-17-2007

So me and one of my good freinds were out riding down in Mass. in his 06 STI. We came to a traffic light where we had a green arrow, proceeded to turn and the person trying to beat the yellow light hit us head on. luckily not much bodily harm done to us, 8 staples in the head. But the STI is totalled

Damn that sucks

I always hate seeing nice cars totaled. I think the whole front end frame comes off so maybe it's fixable? Are they going to buy it back? Anyway glad noone was hurt too bad.

A//// Guy · 05-17-2007

Wow that blows!! Glad you werent hurt though.

sleepy2lazy · 05-17-2007

Wow. Glad you guys aren't in a serious condition. It really sucks to hear this.

TkrPerformance · 05-17-2007

that realy sucks but it is fixable

Kevin 1G Drummer · 05-17-2007

Damn. that's messed up. that shitty little Contour looks way more fucked up though. It's fixable, but it would be a hell of alot of work to get it right again. And shawn, the front end doesn't exactly "come off". The upper and lower rails, and aprons can be removed, but it involves drilling a ton of spot welds, and it has to be pulled straight before you can take anything structural off.

JamieSophia14 · 05-17-2007

Here's the funny part, they can cut and weld the fram rails. They can fix the body damage. The towing company poored that sand in the ar (dunno why) and it had used motor oil mixed with it. So to sum it up what totalled the car was the towing company dumping that sand in there and wrecking the interior, which now needs a full restoration, we'll find out for sure if it's going to be totalled or fixed tommorow. I'm honestly thinking if it's totalled I'm going to buy it and do the work myself, as a project. Not sure yet though.

rst95eclipse · 05-17-2007

There's a ton of work to be done. Hope you both are alright.

JustROLLIN · 05-17-2007

They would have totalled that car to begin with. Sand or not.

Actually it looks just like my 2g GSX that was totalled. Almost the exact same situation. An off-duty cop ran a red light when I had a green arrow and trashed my car.

And yeah, stay away from me with your bad luck.

05-17-2007

Humm looks like its next to a hot white 2g

But really, sorry to hear that.

BLaCk_1cE · 05-17-2007

man that is a crappy thing to have happen. Just glad your doing fine though. Court case I am assuming? Good luck with everything, stay safe.

Shift_Style · 05-17-2007

Oh no! STI's are such a beautiful car. That is terrible to see but its good that you guys are ok and not seriously hurt.

92EvilTalon · 05-18-2007

Ouch sorry to hear about the crash. But glad to hear you are ok. Cars can be replaced. Not people.

That's true, but judging by how badly folded the hood and right fender is, I would guess that it needs a whole new right upper rail, they could probably section the lower rail, and most of the apron would have to be replaced along with the entire core supt, and probably pull the left side rails straight. That's an easy 80 to 90 hour job just for the body work, then add on another 15-20 for the paint work, plus the cost of parts and materials, and that would probably total the car. I was just looking at the pics a little closer, and by looking at the left fender, the front end is swayed WAY to the left, which means that the damage probably goes back as far as the firewall, and A-pillars.

P.S. I'm a professional body guy and work in a shop, so yeah, I know what I'm talking about.

yeah your right, He's getting a brand new aspen white one.

bluntedelvis · 05-18-2007

Been there, Recked that. That sucks, glad everyone is alright though.

CVD · 05-19-2007

Regardless of if it is fixable I can guarantee you the insurance co will want to total it.

I agree. And if it were me, I would be pissed if they didnt. No way would I want a vehicle that has sustained that much damage.

JamieSophia14 · 05-19-2007

Yeah, but for some reason he's hellbent on getting that one back cause its his baby.
