90G60 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 That's terrible! I never got the chance to check your out. Hope it doesn't get totaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Horns are useless IMO. My gf gets pissy when i don't lay on the horn because i'm too busy swerving out of the way or defensively driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sad sight to see! If its totaled out (which it looks to be) I would be interested in knowing what insurance would want for it to buy it off them. I'd offer you some cash on top if you wouldn't want to hold onto it. for example they may total the car and give you 30k if you buy it back they'd give you 25k + the car. & I would offer 5500 making you an extra 500 then the first insurance offer PM me if you have any details, its going to wind up on an auction and probably go triple what you can get it for..

TTQ B4U Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 WOW! Looks like everyone is okay though....and that's what counts. $5 says she was just looking up a phone number :dumb: Not that it matters. I cringe every day seeing people looking at their phones while cruising 270 in traffic. Everyone does it at some point, but I'm just saying, it's usually younger girls I see doing it more. Perhaps because I'm not looking at dudes in cars though :gabe: There's something to be said for Bluetooth and full hands free. I use mine all the time.

ItzaME Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Jesus vulture. It's sort of my line of work so I'm making him aware.. 90% of the time its better to buy the car back from an insurance company and receive a lesser amount since you will most likely get the car for pocket change of its worth. I'd hope it wouldn't be totaled but any bent metal starts looking sketchy to estimators. Just interested in seeing the outcome. Had a kid that wasn't hers in the car too?!? :fuuuu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine just did this with his Saab SUV (6.2l version). Go the vehicle for dirty pennies from the insurance co., bought a new front clip, used it to replace his, kept his motor, sold the other one and had the vehicle painted like new. Kept the big fat check from the insurance co. and ended up putting it down on a new MBZ SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wow, what a sad sight Hopefully her insurance kills her wallet, and she isn't babysitting anyone else anytime soon. Texting and driving isn't worth it, that shit can wait, stinks this happened to you, and the V! Definitely strange the airbag didn't go off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept the big fat check from the insurance co. and ended up putting it down on a new MBZ SUV. Right on! Similar situation happened to one of my buddies a couple weeks ago on his low mileage R1, actually a member on here also. Lady rear ended him and her hood went between the tail and rear tire and popped some of the fairings out but the bike never tipped over. The estimator looked i over and long story short he was offered an amount and I told him to ask what they'd give him if he wanted to keep the bike. He ended up making money off the check they wrote out and still has the bike (popped the plastic fairings back in position and fixed his rear plate & is currently driving it) No way of even telling it was ever in an accident but will be issued a rebuilt salvage title once a police inspection is passed.

Wease Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Damn dude! Glad to see you're OK, but I hope they throw the book at her. People like this need examples made of them as a warning to others. So sorry about the car though. If that happened to any of my cars, I'd be crushed...

Mallard Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sorry to see this happen to you, but this is also why I will never let my kid ride his bike in my neighborhood (in the street when he is older). People are so distracted behind the wheel today, and they don't give a shit for anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Trying to keep it all in perspective. No one hurt etc but hard to swallow seeing the V dragged on to a flatbed. Especially given I now have it like I wanted it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 IF you get it fixed, make sure you're compensated for diminished value. This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Doesn't appear that it will total. Esp, since your air bags did not deploy. Yes, Deff take to a really good repair facility. I took mine to Achbach when some ass bag smacked it in a parking lot at a bar... ( I did the right thing that night, and left it, and I still got FUCT..) They did an awesome job!!!!

Jeffrey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hate to say it but a front side hit like that, might be something where the car is never the same after it is fixed. Best of luck either way it is a really clean car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ugh I fucking hate texting twats. They run me out of my lane on 161 once a week and give the most confused, pissy look when they catch the finger aimed their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
