On saturday i was driving to work, and a lady comming out of the parking lot jumped in front of me all of the sudden i smalled the brakes, but i ended up hitting her.




the damages are driver side headlight, the bottom part of the bumper is all smashed in, the fender is all pushed in, the hood is all bend out of shape, and the support for the headlight frame is bend.

I started the car, and after the wreck it ran fine.
Probably friday the ajester will go out and take a look at the car.

do you guys think that it will be totalled.
What the chances that it will be totalled, and what are the changes
that they will decied to repair the car.

I'm pretty sure that the adjuster is not gonna total it. Your frame is probably not bent and all other parts, you can pretty much buy it yourself and it's a DIY process. Don't worry so much , it's not a bad damange!

the bumper beneath the headlight has a huge bump in it.
The whole front bumper is out of place broken.
I believe the frame is bend.

That sucks man I hate wrecks

the lady has full insurance, so i'm not paying.
But i don't want to keep my car anymore since it had frame damage now.
I hope they total it.

looks like you didnt do any mods to your car...

The way you worded ur post makes u sound like u hit a pedestrian lol.

I was going to lower it, i got the shocks and springs at the house, i was showing
laziness in replacing them.

lols. that's what i also thought when u said the lady "jumped" in front of you.

i'm sure, everything will be ok. insurance should cover it(if you do have full coverage, or whoever is at fault) now you have a base. why not get a whole new paint job, and throw some CTR skirts while your at it.

sshaikh01

no man i don't wanna keep the car at all now.
because i'm sure that the frame is bend.
Eventually it will cause problems for me.

I'm thinking about getting a GSR

dude.... i know everyone here loves their car and all... but was the poor lady orite? did she need a new 'body'-kit or what?

Mr. Thunderlips

First off, the word is BENT! It just sounds like you don't want your car anymore. I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you. Your bumper support can be replaced, as well as the bumper cover, headlights, hood, and all other BS. You need a pretty major accident or theft for a total. Why do I know you ask? Because I have had three cars totaled that I have driven. Two were theft recoveries, and one was an accident. Like I said, you are going to need some serious damage for a total, and from what I gather, you don't have MAJOR damage.

WTF Is wrong with you? WHy the hell do you want your car tottalled so badly? I scincerely doubt its tottalled. Accept that and use this to your advantage to get some goodies (like those CTR skirts...)

Unless there is MAJOR hidden damage - an adjuster will not total the car unless the repair costs reach 60 - 70 % of the retail value of the car - sounds like 1500.00 - to 2000.00 in damage.

Dude, if you are soooo unhappy with it sell it! Plain and simple! That car is not totalled!!

owen_the_soyboy

they wont total that.

my 94 teg GSR had the same scenario as far as damage, after a $4200 repair bill the insurance paid for, I was off and driving my teg again.

also was able to get a CF hood, front lip and new headlights to avoid the smoked look of old teg lights.

this might be a chance to get new parts for your car, or to sell it looking like new after they fix it up.

Thank-you....my god he was pissing me off sayind its bend...its bend......WTF!!!!!


anyways, they're not gonna total your car, you most likely dont have any frame damage, and you probably shouldn't be driving so fast that you have to slam on the brakes to avoid someone backing out in a parking lot anyways.

quit your whining and suck it up!!!

oops

sshaikh01

seems to me you're winning.

keep the car, get some goodies with it
when i got in my crash, the radiator, hood, radiator support, headlights and all were screwed. i replaced them with c/f hood, projectors, z3's (yes yes, i know), and aluminum radiator. just think free upgrades for people's dumbness if ur car isn't in that much damage

Grimm

well after they fix your car you can try and hit someone else and try to total it again so you can pick up a different whip.

be grateful man. accidents are not a fun thing and be glad no one was hurt. f* your selfishness about your car being tainted cause it was in an accident WTF.
DAMN KID........

sshaikh01

well dang son, you're making it sound like i went hit her on purpose and i'm glad that it happened.
needles to say, i'm pissed that my car is wreck because i just bought it
three months a go, i had nice plans for it, like i said i had already bought the springs for it also.

if the airbags deployed, then yes, your car did sustain unibody damage. If they did not deploy, then there would be no unibody damage. airbag (srs) sensors for hondas are located inside the unibody, only when there is enough impact the move the unibody will the airbags deploy.

good luck either way, hope things work out for the best.
