Pretty Sure My Cars a Writeoff :(

[2002civic]

Well tongiht at about 5:30 i was driving accross lethbridge and passed an intersection where a dum kunt decided to turn left in front of me on a solid green as soon as i entered the intersection, we couldnt even say a word before impact, i was going approximatly 50 km/h and my buddy said i swerved and breaked hard but still creamed her(i dont remember the point of impact, just spinning around and pitch blackness)....

her vehicle( a dodge caravan) was spun around doing a 180 while mine did at least one full spin and came to rest facing the opposite direction i had come from with both air bags deployed and prolly 10 meteres down and to the side of the van.

My buddy and i both have minor injuries(cuts, bruises, sore necks etc and the lady driving the van went to the hospital even though she complained of only the same injuries:_please:

she has since been charged by the cops but my car is pretty much fucked, my cell phone that was in my cup holder was in pieces which shows how hard the impact must have been, seat belts are ripped, mirrors and the fornt end are detroyed, somehow my passeneger rear wheel well was caved in and the wheel was dangling altho besides that area there was no damage on that side:confused:

sorry for the giberish and spell spelling, hopefully it made some sense

i didnt get any pics taken at the scene but ill take some tmrw and post them

[skandalouz_08]

Well that sucks kidd, but... just look at it as better things coming

[2002civic]

lol ya id like to see her sue me when it was her fault....:rolleyes: and now the fun pleasure of dealing with insurance morons:thumbsdow haha, i figure my weekend starts tmrw and school can wait;) so there is one bright side i guess

[Vietsta]

man the sucks
i remember last aorund this time. i was on deerfoot and just going over the cath row brigh or something. and a chick in a bmw m3 like hit the back on my suv causing me to hit the middle divider and then into a roll 5 times and the bad thing was i just bought the suv like 3 weeks before the crash=[
broke my wrist and glass in my eye

[DonJuan]

Sorry to hear about the accident man, as far as you car goes, it's probably a write off, dented panels on the opposite side of impact usually means that the chassis is bent badly. Speedy recovery!

[lastprodigy]

sounds pretty shitty.....

the only positive is maybe you can finally get a new car since youve been trying to sell yours!

[GQBalla]

good thing your okay!

hopefully everythin works out.

that sounds like some crazy damage to your car.

[DannyO]

Shitty to hear, but look at it this way, it could of been ALOT worse.

[Joe_Lee]

I think I saw that. was it happened on weatside? by the church and fire station?

[/////AMG]

Glad to hear you're OK.

I hope that bitch gets some time.

yup, my car was travelling west bound on whoop up and the caravan was in the turn lane on east bound whoopup turning onto jerry potts(well whatever road it is on the other side)

my car ended up hitting i believe the traffic like and spinning and coming to a stop on the other side of the westbound lane facing eastbound on whoopup

my neck and back are starting to really hurt and i got pretty much no sleep last night since my arm kills everytime it touches something(not a break but just a lot of skin got ripped off) i believe from rubbing against my steering wheel:dunno:

that bitch wont get any time, all she willget is 115 dollar fine.
but since its her fault, her insurance costs will skyrocket, and just wait till the ambulance bill shows up , and to fix her car, and such..

[Primer_Drift]

Ouch sounds like you had a rough night to say the least...It also sounds like an accident I had but add +10km per hour and no charges were made cuz the woman was an 80yr old.

Due to changes in our insurance, soft tissue injuries are the worst to get. I suggest you sue for due compensation if you feel you deserve it.. most insurance compensation for pain and injury in regards to soft tissue injuries are less than adequete. Be sure to be checked by as many professionals as possible, as soon as possible. Chiropractic and physiotherapy bills can add up later on (past claim coverage)if you don't get on top of it right away. Best of luck with your recovery!

PS. Are you keeping your write-off?

[DC2]

ouch, sorry to hear... this same thing happened to my aunt and uncle last week at mcknight at center street. their van. VS a semi turning left....

good luck!

a)thanks for the heads up but my dads a lawyer and already has someone from his firm working on this
b)im not sure what is gonna be done with the car, i have no reason to keep the write off, but its up to the insurance company but after looking at it today it is worse than i remembered, my fender was inside the interior of the car inches form where my foot must likely have been and the pol ehit the sid eof the car inches form the passenegr side where my buddy was, ill post pics later

[Nissanaddict]

Sounds bad. Advice, take your car home, before it gets taken to the yard. Remove all your possesions from it. I did (including my stereo) and I was fine. My buddy wrote his car off...went straight to the impound. So....cd player, 15 CDs, 4 aftermarket speakers, $400 or so sunglasses, and everything else of value....gone. Nobody would fess up to it. Impound yard shut up about it, wouldn't say anything.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

brutal man... sorry to hear about it, i hope you have a fast recovery as well as lots of money to get a new car... and strip it... quick like

[2002civic]

thansk for the heads up but my car was appraised and insured for the system so im nto touching it till insurance looks at my car, if it goes missing oh well not my fault, and all my possesions are out of the car

[jcrules99]

damn man that sucks.. good luck with recovery and the insurance shit :thumbsup:

sequence i belive is
a) hit van almost head on
b) hit traffic light with cement base
c) end up on top of pedestrian median behind traffiic light over curb


and now my question is , Do you guys think its a write off? My car was appraised at 28xxx dollars due to mods 2 years ago so thats the only thing thats iffy is if its worth that much will it be written off:dunno:

[Mr_John]

that without a doubt HAS to be a write-off
i hope you have a secondary car because having a write-off car sucks
so is dealing with insurance and finding the next car

and you should get your back and neck checked out (as people haev said)
few years ago i was T-boned (like in your situation) and I had no injuries, or so I thought.......

[Primer_Drift]

Completely written off. The rear trailing arm has been pulled out of the frame by the looks of it.. frame damage to the front and rear of the vehicle is write off in my mind. If it were me I'd ask how much the buy-out from the insurance company was and then sell it for parts if it was cheap.

I dont see anything other than maybe the shift knob and tail lights that arent crushed.
plus the headaches of selling the parts might not be worth it

it is a write off if they appraise it at 80%+ damage

Passenger side headlight ($700 retail OEM), tail lights, passenger side door, interior parts, engine , transmission .. If you can't turn a wrench then nevermind, but there is a lot of money in those parts if you are willing to invest the time.

[dankish1]

the air bags went off its a write off
talk to your insurance company and
tell them that you need a rental car.
i was rearended and i talked to the other guys
insurance and they gave me a rental truck for a month and a half

[moe007]

dam that sucks dude looks like a write off to me

[2002civic]

ive already seen a doctor and begin physio soon and i got a rental yesterday, a sweet 4 door cobalt:thumbsup: ;) :rofl: also got a new cell as mine was in pieces form the impact so the fun insurance process has begun:thumbsdow

[carter_prelude]

good luck with it. Hopefully you can get some new wheels soon.

[Jatt87]

Damn that is a writeoff for sure. Hope you and your buddy are doing okay.

[2002civic]

thanks for all the kind werds, my buddy is dax btw for those that know him on here (turbo modded sunfire)

[BlackArcher101]

Crappy deal on the crash man. I used to travel through that intersection all the time, and my friends sister had the exact same accident there.

At least the firefighter/ems response time was seconds ;)

:rolleyes: Since when do air bags going off mean its a writeoff?


But, ya thats looks gone to me.

Happy car hunting! I hope your feeling better soon.

[2002civic]

actually the police got there before the paramedics, they took a cpl minutes, i dunno if they were taking shits or what...but its a 15 second walk form the firehall:dunno:

[Drsuce]

if the air bags deploy, its almost always a write off.....

new air bags and dash alone would probably run you 10k MSRP

not including the damage that made the bags deploy....


u can easily write off a 50k car just by hitting a curb hard ;)

[gofastmerc]

Whatever.

I have changed hundreds of airbags. It takes more than that to write off a 50K car...

[mikey_mo_love]

shitty deal chris!
glad to hear you're ok
