the black civic is my friends who just happened to wreck his car a week before mine and was sitting next to mine in the lot.

i rarely post here, but i lurk a lot. i'm hoping i can get 10 posts sometime soon so i can get a WTB ad up in the for sale section...

i made a mistake, hit a tree. broke my wrist. i'm regretting it so much, i miss my car terribly. it was a 97 GS, in incredible condition for having 130k miles. insurance is offering me 5500 but they said they would rerun the numbers and see if they could get me more for it...

 

dang, well atleast your okay and hopefully you learned something from it. I remember when I hit a tree and wrecked a friends car. I learned my lesson. Buy it back and swap the stuff into a EG or EK or even into another integra shell.

 

sorry to hear man. poor cgp

story?

basically i was on a very curvy backroad that has dirt on each side of it. i was driving too quickly and i came to a part where it is like a quick right hand curve into a slower left hand curve but i didn't have time to slow down. i was probably going about 50ish when it happened. in 4th gear.

the backend was already loose as i came around the 2nd bend, i hit the dirt on the outside and spun 180 degrees as i went across the road. my car was actually backwards when i hit the tree. after i hit the tree the car bounced off another 180 degrees so i ended up facing forward.

i didn't look at the engine that closely but it looked the transmission got ripped off in the process not really sure exactly what happened... but in the end i don't think it's even going to be worth it to buy it back.

 

OUCH! man and it was a green one. glad you're ok

 

a couple of pics from when i first got it

 

damn that sucks atlest your fine

 

damn man sorry to hear but things couldve been a whole lot worse at least your ok. The car can be repaired but you on the other hand cant always be.

NEVER forget this.

YOU, my friend, are VERY lucky.

imagine what the outcome could've been had you for some reason had a passenger, and the damage took place approx 4 to 5 feet toward the rear of the car

 

Take it as a total and then buy it back from them and part it out.

 

just get a framerail at a junkyard, thats only $1100 in damage

actually my insurance has been kick *** thoughout the whole process and i'm happy with the check (which is higher than the number i said in my original post since they've rerun it) i'm getting. no worries.

i did have a passenger... and i have thought about it a lot.

i think it's a bit more than that... their is a lot of damage not shown in the pics... here's a quick list from what i can remember

- passenger side window shattered in the door
-passenger seat broke (ie it won't stay upright anymore, it falls back)
- dent behind passnger door
-front quarter panel + front bumper
- front end suspension destroyed
- tranny ripped from engine + who else know what other engine damage happened, didn't inspect it closely
-paint scratched on both sides of car (after i hit the tree + tree brush, i spun off of it into the tree brush, scratching both side of the car) so the whole thing would have to be repainted

 

that sucks that u crashed it... glad ur ok. However seems like insurance is giving a lot for it so it's not too bad. I bought my 96 green ls with 69k miles for 5000 about a couple of months ago. SO with it having 130k miles u are getting a nice amount. U can prob buy a GSR with 130k miles for that much....

 

the final number my insurance is giving me 6270.50 - my 500 deductable = 5770.50


not too bad i don't think. btw i have all state and they originally wanted to only give me 5k before deductable

 

dang.

that's a damn good amount IMO, take it and run!

sorry about your loss, get your self something nice with the money.

 

another one bites the dust

 

sorry about your loss but,

-Your okay
-You didn't hurt anyone else
-At least you didn't lose your car to Theif, it was your own doing
-You have insurence... Good call.
